SciShow | A Better Treatment for Overdose Is Coming @SciShow | Uploaded 1 month ago | Updated 3 days ago
Naloxone, better known as Narcan, is today's gold standard to treat opioid overdose. But sometimes it comes up short against more potent opioids like fentanyl. So future treatments might take advantage of opioid receptor agonist/antagonist combos, antibodies, or nanoparticles!

Correction:
3:57 Morphine is the molecule on the top right, and Naloxone is the molecule on the bottom right. Looks like we got them confused just like opioid receptors do!
