•
breathing problems
•
severe sleepiness
•

IF YOU ARE AT RISK OF AN OPIOID OVERDOSE YOU SHOULD ALWAYS CARRY YOUR
NYXOID WITH YOU
. Nyxoid
works for a short time only to reverse the effects of opioids while
you wait for emergency medical
attention. It is not a substitute for emergency medical care. Nyxoid
