What other drug can you take to prevent a overdose from heroin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only blockers: Like Naltrexone will prevent an overdose but these can also precipitate withdrawal. Certain family members will keep injectible Narcan (naloxone) around to respond to an overdose; this will wear off in an hour or two.
