Opioid overdoses can happen unexpectedly, whether from prescription medications, street drugs, or accidental exposure. In a crisis, quick action can save a life.

To make that possible, the UC Davis Fire Department has expanded access to Narcan, a fast-acting nasal spray that can reverse opioid overdoses. Narcan is now available for free at four key locations on campus:

• Memorial Union: Inside the east entrance, next to the information desk.

• Shields Library: In the 24-hour study room.

• Student Community Center: Inside the north entrance.

• Activities and Recreation Center: In the ARC study lounge.

Narcan is safe, easy to use, and doesn’t require any medical training. Even if you’re unsure whether someone is overdosing, using Narcan will not cause harm.
