“There aren’t any known safety issues with giving a person Narcan when they don’t need it. Narcan doesn’t have an effect on a person who’s sober from opioids. (“Sober” means they don’t have any opioids in their system.)”

“Mild side effects of Narcan can include:

bone pain

constipation

nose that’s dry, stuffy, painful, or swollen inside

dry skin

high blood pressure

muscle pain or spasms

toothache

headache”
