Question

Your adult patient is in respiratory arrest due to an opioid overdose. The team is delivering 1 ventilation every 6 seconds. You administered the recommended dose of naloxone. How often may this dose be repeated?.

Answer 1

Answer:

You can give someone naloxone every 2-3 minutes until they begin breathing normally again.

Answer 2

An initial dose of 400 to 2000 micrograms (0.4mg to 2mg) of naloxone may be given intravenously and may if required, be repeated at 2 to 3-minute intervals.

Can naloxone be repeated?

If symptoms return after giving an injection, give another naloxone injection using a new auto-injector every 2 to 3 minutes if available. Each auto-injector contains only one dose and cannot be reused. Continue to closely watch the person until emergency help is received.

How often can you give naloxone?

There is no maximum recommended dose for Narcan. And you can't hurt someone by giving them more doses of Narcan than they actually need. In fact, if someone has overdosed or possibly overdosed on opioids, you should give them Narcan every 2 to 3 minutes until they begin breathing normally again.
