____ is used to reverse an opiate (such as morphine or codeine) overdose?
Naloxone
Flumazenil
Deferoxamine
Atropine
Answers:
Its naloxone. We use it in emergency medicine a lot. Its shame really, we administer it to heroin and other opiod overdoses hopefully before they stop breathing so we don't have to waste our time intubating them. They recuperate from their unconcious slumber VERY quickly, however there are no thank yous, they will shout, curse and spit at you, pull out their IV and hoof it out of the door just to go and shoot up again around the corner. You know that you will see them again, hopefully not in worse circumstances.
narcan = Naloxone
it is amazing to survey and addict get narcan, they go right into subtraction. it is awful and amazing
i believe it chemically blocks the receptors that make these opiates work.
