OD Revive FAQs
See the frequently asked questions about our company and device development.
Narcan is a brand name for naloxone, a medication designed to rapidly reverse opioid overdoses. It works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain, displacing the opioids, and restoring normal breathing in individuals experiencing an overdose. Narcan is safe to use and has no effect if opioids are not present in the system.
Anyone who has Narcan and is willing to respond to an overdose in their vicinity can join our network. This includes individuals without prior medical training, as we provide the necessary education and resources to prepare you for emergency situations.
Narcan is available over the counter at many pharmacies without a prescription. Additionally, various community-based organizations and public health departments offer Narcan for free or at reduced costs. Our network can guide you to local resources to obtain Narcan.
Answer-While formal training is not mandatory, it is highly recommended. Our network offers training sessions that cover recognizing overdose symptoms, administering Narcan, and providing post-overdose care. These sessions ensure you are confident and prepared to respond effectively.
If you suspect someone is overdosing, immediately call 911. Administer Narcan as instructed, and if the individual does not respond within 2-3 minutes, administer a second dose. Stay with the person until emergency services arrive, providing support and monitoring their condition.
Good Samaritan laws in many states protect individuals who assist in emergency situations from legal liability. These laws are designed to encourage bystanders to help without fear of legal repercussions. It’s
advisable to familiarize yourself with your state’s specific regulations.
Our app alerts trained volunteers when an overdose is reported nearby. If you’re available, you can respond to the alert, administer Narcan, and provide support until emergency services arrive. The app also offers resources, training materials, and a platform to connect with other volunteers.
You can join our waitlist to become a responder, participate in training sessions, and help spread awareness about the importance of carrying Narcan. Donations and partnerships are also welcome to expand our reach and resources.
