Doctors routinely give the drug during emergency resuscitation after narcotic overdose. After giving 124 drug users in Berlin, Germany, training in emergency resuscitation with the aid of the injectable drug naloxone, the researchers report on the experiences of 22 addicts who had an opportunity to put their newfound skills to use. These 22 study participants put their training to the test on 34 occasions. The drug was generally used appropriately.
Early reports are encouraging.
