Naloxone is administered by way of a nasal spray and it can quickly restore normal respiration to a person whose breathing has slowed or stopped because of an overdose.
An unresponsive man spotted on the platform of the downtown San Mateo train station was revived through Narcan before being transported to the hospital Saturday night, according to police.
At about 8:20 p.m., officers responded to the station at 2 N. B St. on reports of a drug overdose. Officers found the man not breathing and lying in a pool of vomit, according to police.
