Naloxone can quickly reverse an overdose by blocking the effects of opioids, restoring normal breathing within 2 to 3 minutes in a person whose breath has slowed, or even stopped, as a result of opioid overdose. More than one dose of naloxone may be required when stronger opioids like fentanyl are involved (CDC).
