Free naloxone available at TerryWhite Chemmart Geelong West

Two people have recently required emergency care because they experienced he**in overdose after using what they thought was co***ne or methamphetamine.

He**in is an opioid and is a very different substance from co***ne and methamphetamine, although it often appears in a similar white powdered form.

Small amounts of opioids can cause life-threatening overdose, especially in people who have never or rarely used opioids.

Signs of opioid overdose include breathing slowly and reduced consciousness (meaning someone is hard to wake up). In some cases, the person may also have tiny pupils.

If you experience toxic drug effects, or are present when someone has an unexpected reaction, seek help immediately by calling Triple Zero (000).

Naloxone is an easy-to-use medication that can reverse opioid overdose – it is safe to use even if you are not sure whether someone has taken opioids.

Naloxone can be accessed free of charge at participating pharmacies, needle and syringe programs and the medically supervised injecting centre.
