So when a person has an OD narcan is applied to kick off the opioids binding to the receptors. But narcan only last temporarily. So when narcan is applied and patient is taken to the hospital, what do they do next to treat the over dosage before narcan wears off? Do they just keep giving you narcan?

Watch closely for a few hours to make sure the person doesn’t go down again when the first dose wears off. Give more narcan if needed. In unusual cases, someone might need a continuous infusion for a day or so until they get better.
