Narcan 4mg IN
Hi Miranda- Different services carry different devices. The 4 mg IN is designed for lay people. It is simple and easy to use, and is a relatively newer device than the 2 mg atomizer method. The problem is it tends to put people into withdrawal. The 2 mg is hard to put together, but gentler.…

Atropine
People have widely varying tolerances for Atropine. While there are no absolute contraindications in OPP, 10-20 mg may very well kill someone. 1-2mg, while not likely to be effective on true organophosphate poisoning, is a much better dose to repeat until symptoms resolve, than to jump to 20 mg. I could "maybe" get on board…
