Opioid overdose can happen anywhere, at any time. Recognising the signs could save a life 💜

⚠️ Watch for:
- Slow or irregular breathing

- Blue or grey lips and skin

💉 Naloxone reverses the effects of an opioid overdose. Having Naloxone, knowing how to use it, and acting quickly makes all the difference.
