Naloxone was administered to two men by emergency responders early this morning (Thurs).
Saskatoon Police report that patrol officers responded to a medical call at an apartment in the 100 block of Avenue U South just before 7 o’clock for what was believed to be a man suffering from an overdose.
Naloxone and CPR were administered and while that was going on, a second man collapsed just as paramedics arrived, so they delivered Naloxone to him as well.
Both were transported to hospital with non life threatening injuries.
The Saskatoon Police Service reminds everyone that any drugs not prescribed by a doctor or dispensed by a pharmacist can pose a serious risk of injury or death.

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.
The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.
T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
