For many students, the start of the school year does not only concern the decoration of the dormitory and the supplies in class. An increasing number of parents send their children to school with Narcan.
Narcan is a popular name for naloxone, a drug that can quickly reverse an opioid overdose.
Once a prescription drug, it is now available at the counter for $ 40 to $ 80, according to industry sources.

In a shared Tiktok video on a Wednesday of “Outnurered”, a mother detailed the “university health kit” she did so that her daughter could take at the university.
“If someone is never at a party, or if someone is in the dormitory and has an overdose, it is probably good to throw a Narcan,” she said, holding the nasal spray.

The hosts “in inferiority” have discussed the potential risks of students administering Narcan.
A recent article from the BU School of Public Health reported that few students really knew how to administer the nasal spray, said Molly Line, Fox News correspondent.
“This enormous complete study was carried out a few years ago, and it talked about (how) only about 15% could administer it effectively and be able to reverse the real effects of opioids in the case,” she continued.
“You must be aware before making these choices to put something in your nose or in your mouth.”
Some students may be concerned with being responsible in the event of overdose, also noted.
“Some universities have implemented what is called a” good Samaritan policy “… in the event of drug or alcohol overdose problems, it is normal to intervene and do something,” she said.

Anchor and host Harris Faulker noted that some parents would not choose that their children receive Narcan.
“Maybe they would like someone to call 911 first,” she said. “I know that you don’t have much time for a fentanyl, for example, an overdose, but maybe your choice would be, no, you do not allow children to do it. You have someone on hand which is a pro.”

Paul Mauro, a contributor to Fox News, said he supported the middle school students who bring Narcan back to school, “just because the issues are so high. You have people who could die … in seconds.”
He also pointed out that most students are 18 years old and can make their own decisions.
“You can fight in a war. You can do all kinds of other things. Do not infant them. Get out, be an adult now. These are the metrics. These are things you need to worry about. Go for it and make your own choices.”

Co-host Emily Compano noted that the United States had been “completely afflicted” by poisonings of fentanyl.
“It is no longer our college. He is no longer a bud in a bottle. Things could become really frightening,” she said. “So you have to be aware before making these choices to put something in your nose or your mouth.”

Kayleigh Mcenany reiterated that “the stakes are so high and that Narcan saves lives”, calling him a “miracle drug”.
“Obviously, we must also continue to fight against the fentanyl and opioid crisis,” she said. “We have to fight the cause of these overdoses.”
“Education and honest information on drug addiction are prevention.”
The panelists have also noted that on some campuses, there will be people trained to use Narcan, and there could even be distributors in dormitories.
Mell McCracken, certified alcohol and drug advisor and executive director, regardless of the recovery in Los Angeles, said that he had seen more parents focus on safety and education with regard to substance consumption.

“This type of open dialogue is prevention and has already shown real advantages by approaching the opioid crisis,” he told Fox News Digital. “Narcan saves lives.”
McCracken recommended that children and parents will receive Narcan training, which is “very simple, accessible and simple”.

“Children and parents can take a short five -minute online course to learn how to administer it properly,” said an expert. (istock)
“Children and parents can take a short five-minute online course to learn how to administer it properly,” he said.
“It is very low at risk, especially in relation to the risk of not giving it during an overdose,” he continued. “If someone is not overdose on opioids, giving Narcan will not hurt him.”

The expert said he did not think that talking to Narcan’s children encourages the consumption of substances.
“If anything, education and honest information on drug addiction are prevention,” he added. “It is these conversations that save lives.”
