Narcan
Free Narcan Kits
The Center for Student Wellness and Health Promotion now provides Narcan Kits to UC Irvine students as part of its ongoing commitment to campus safety and harm-reduction education. Each kit contains one box of Narcan nasal spray, two fentanyl test strips, and two drink-spiking test strips. Narcan (naloxone) is a safe, fast-acting medication used to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. Fentanyl test strips allow for the detection of fentanyl in substances, supporting informed decision-making and risk reduction. Drink-spiking test strips are designed to identify common substances used to tamper with beverages, enhancing personal safety in social environments.

What is the California Good Samaritan Law?
The “911 Good Samaritan” law provides limited protections from arrest, charge, and/or prosecution for people who, in good faith, seeks emergency medical assistance at the scene of an overdose (AB 472, Ammiano, 2012). California law also protects anyone who carry naloxone and administer to someone suspected of experiencing an overdose.
