A complete kit contains two doses of Naloxone in a pill bottle, two syringes, a breathing barrier, medical gloves, and instructions in a protective case.

NSH says if Naloxone is missing, you should bring the kit back to your local pharmacy and ask for a new one.

Nova Scotia Health says no adverse events have been reported after learning of the missing Naloxone on Monday.
