Since my friend Krystal died of a fentanyl overdose last year, I've started keeping a naloxone kit in my first aid bag in my car (I used to carry a naloxone pill in the 90s). There was a info booth at a fair and the pharmacist. Kent Guidon, told me that more than two nasal sprays can be used if the paramedics haven't arrived yet and the overdose victim hasn't responded, so I got some more. He also said to angle out the spray toward the eye after getting the nozzle in to better get the naloxone into the sinus, and to use the sprays on alternating nostrils.
