It is commonly used for decreased breathing in opioid overdose.

Examples of opioids include morphine, heroin, fentanyl, tramadol, and methadone.

Heroin overdose is usually treated with the opioid antagonist, naloxone.

Risk factors for opioid overdose include opioid dependence, use of opioids by injection, use of high doses of opioids, mental disorders, and use of opioids together with alcohol, benzodiazepines, or cocaine.
