Naloxone is available at all pharmacies in Maryland.

Use with someone and take turns in case one of you needs naloxone.
If you use drugs, take action to prevent overdose. When you take a drug, start with a very small amount to test the strength. Don't slam it. You can always take more, but you can never take less. If you inject drugs, inject a little bit first and wait 20 seconds to see how strong it is. If it feels off, consider not using it or using less than planned. Be sure someone with you has naloxone.
If you use heroin, pills or even other drugs in Maryland, there's a good chance you’re using fentanyl. Fentanyl has caused a huge spike in overdose deaths. Fentanyl acts FAST. Be careful.
Don’t be afraid to call 911 if you witness an overdose. Under Maryland’s Good Samaritan Law if you help someone who is overdosing:
Don’t Run,
Call 911
