Researchers found that naloxone use did not increase relative to the number of overdoses as deaths have fallen since 2023, suggesting that other factors may be driving the national decline in overdose deaths.
Naloxone helps mitigate the effects of an overdose, it doesn’t prevent overdoses (or at least isn’t used for that purpose). An overdose is not always lethal.
The research suggests that the observed reduction in overdose deaths was not primarily due to increased use of naloxone.
