KAWARTHA LAKES-Two Kawartha Lakes Police officers saved two people from a drug overdose this afternoon in Lindsay.
Police say the officers administered Naloxone and then CPR to two people who overdosed while using drugs together. Both have been taken to hospital by paramedics and are expected to make a full recovery according to police.
Naloxone (also known as Narcan®) is a medication called an “opioid antagonist” used to counter the effects of opioid overdose, for example morphine, fentanyl and heroin overdose.
