Narcan and Fentanyl Test Kits Available at the 48th Ward Office

Narcan nasal spray and fentanyl test strips are available at the 48th ward office for those who need them. Narcan is the brand name of the medication naloxone which reverses the effects of opioid overdose and will not harm someone who is not experiencing an overdose. Fentanyl test strips are a form of harm reduction that helps folks who are using drugs make sure that they are not unknowningly ingesting fentanyl.

Thank you to the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) for providing these resources and a training our staff to administer them safely.
