    I'm not 100% but I would assume that a drug named narcan would as it blocks the effect of most drugs, but if you go to the hospital with an overdose of anything first thing they try is charcoal then stomach pump, then narcan.
    Hope this answered your question : )

    Actually his heart stopped due to a IV drug called Propofol that was being administered by a cardiologist and not a anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist. He had no business giving a drug (its a general anesthetic). It is not his scope of practice.
    In the wrong hands as you can see, it can be deadly. His heart stopped.
    The cardiologist also did not have oxygen or a Code cart in the room. He was negligent and should go to jail for murder. There is no excuse in this case.
    MJ also was being given 4 different anti-anxiety drugs at the same time. This too was an overdose. You don't mix ativan, versed and valium for example. They are in the same drug category.
