Answer:
When a person overdoses on opioids such as Percocet, OxyContin, or heroin, the antidote which is given by medical personnel is called Narcan. This is a medication which blocks all opioids from working, and reverses an overdose. If someone is suspected of overdose, call 911 or take the patient to the nearest Emergency Room.
