Naloxone not enough to address opioid crisis says Sudbury addictions nurse
Naloxone isn't always effective for those who have overdosed on opiods. When someone overdoses on fentanyl the antidote is used similar to an Epi-pen for an allergic reaction. A Sudbury health nurse says although naloxone is effective for opioid overdoses it doesn't work with other unidentifiable drugs. Education and prevention are also needed.
