Dry it and snort the remaining crystals. It is highly effective this route, would say somebody could also rub it into your nose but as high up as possible. Sublingual might be better as nothing but I'm unsure about as they mix naloxone into subuxone pills and there it seems not to induce the heavy dysphoria but maybe it's just that the bupe is of higher affinity.

Btw, when you're heroin tolerant, buprenorphine can help too if no naloxone's available.

The narcan I have is in a nasal spray bottle. It comes that way from the pharmacy.

Definitely do not use it sublingual, it only has 2 percent bioavailability via that route. Intranasal would be the next recommended route of administration.

Same, and my insurance paid for it too which was nice. They work great.

It was believed for quite some time that you'd need to inject it. Guess people associated intranasal administration with evil things.

I know this post is almost a month old but wanted to throw my 2 cents in....honestly, if one is using heroin and comes to a point where they need Narcan, they usually will not be able to give it to themselves (regardless of the ROA) bc they will be out. As in unconscious.

Where I live they are encouraging everyone to come get it for free, even non users and folks that haven't been around it because the stuff here is bad and a lot of ODing since January. Parking lots, bathrooms, houses with multiple people. Places the average person would be at just for shopping or whatever. Coroner has put out warnings.
I didn't even know our population was big enough to have these many calls on the daily for so long.
I imagine it's got to be a way to administer without much difficulty, definitely not needles.

Yea I try to carry one around when I’m traveling even though I don’t use anymore.. Never know when you’ll stumble up on someone falling out.
