I'm ignorant of Narcan. Can a person be given too much? An example might be the beat cop giving one dose. He has to leave the scene, and medics arrive and administer a second dose.
Truly hilarious how LONG this issue has been ignored, all the while the anti-gunners are having a field day over those evil black rifles.

Ohio paramedic overdoses after treating OD patient | Dayton News
Details are unclear, but it seems that not only the paramedic, but several hospital staff were also affected.

I wouldn't be surprised if it got taken down sooner than later.
Counterfeit opioid pills are tricking users — sometimes with lethal results
Depending on the opioid used a second dose may be needed anyways. Like epinephrine and anaphylaxis.
There can be side effects from naloxone but that has more to do with an individual person and not an overdose(think more along the lines as an allergic reaction but it may not be a true allergy)
Just remember that it doesn't work for benzos and giving someone naloxone just because they are unresponsive may not do anything.
In my state (ill-annoy), a law was passed that we cannot prosecute junkies for the heroin found at the scene of an overdose. Since junkies are truly the brightest folk they have taken that to mean any heroin, period. ....even if they drag it to the hospital in their butts and then pull it out of their butt to use at the hospital ER bathroom where they were brought in just 45 minutes earlier for an overdose. I had one snotty bitch tell me that her paraphernalia and small amount of heroin which was found in her stuff by hospital staff at the hospital fell under this new law. (It doesn't ...but she can find that out when I get the warrant signed!)
As long as the hypes keep thinking there is no consequence for their actions, we are gonna keep narcan-ing them. That day with the snotty bitch, she was the 4th or 5th OD in that ER for that shift-and I'm NOT in a major municipality.
