Narcan can also be delivered via nasal spray. I’ve heard of patients waking up and immediately taking a swing at the medic who administered the narcan.
It’s fast and potent, but only lasts a few minutes. For a really bad OD, you might go through several doses.
Where I am Narcan is $50+ per dose, a small price to save a life but kinda crazy when you meet the same patients again and again.
