Naloxone is short acting and does NOT get rid of opiate drugs from the body.
Once naloxone wears off, (after about 20-30 minutes)opiates will still be in the body and the person may become unconscious/unresponsive again
It is very important to phone 999 and request an ambulance as soon as possible
Naloxone will keep someone alive until medical help arrives
STAY WITH CASUALTY

Insist on a re-supply!!
