Recognizing an overdose

Fentanyl Facts
  • Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is up to 50 times more potent than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine.
  • A minuscule amount of fentanyl, smaller than a raindrop or a few grains of salt, can be lethal.
  • There are two types of fentanyl: pharmaceutical fentanyl and illegally made fentanyl.
  • You wouldn't be able to see it, taste it, or smell it. It is nearly impossible to tell if drugs have been mixed with fentanyl
Resources on Naloxone
California's Good Samaritan law safeguards individuals who provide emergency medical assistance, such as administering naloxone, during a crisis. It protects those acting in good faith from legal repercussions. Naloxone is now available for purchase over-the-counter and online. You do not need a prescription.

  • Very small pupils.
  • Inability to wake up
  • Slow, weak or no breathing
  • Heart rate that slows or stops.
  • Blue or purple lips or fingertips
  • Slurred speech
