The individual then must read and sign the rest of the form containing information about Narcan and acknowledge they received instructions on how to use it and what are the signs of an overdose .

A person who is experiencing an overdose may have the following symptoms : slow breathing ( less than one breath every five seconds ) or no breathing ; vomiting ; pale and clammy face ; blue lips , fingernails or toenails ; slow , erratic or no pulse ; snoring or gurgling noises while asleep or nodding out ; and no response when you yell the person ’ s name or rub the middle of their chest with your knuckles .

The Narcan is a nasal spray and good until May 2022 .
