Narcan is a specific product that's the nasal delivery form of naloxone, which is otherwise usually administered through injection. Injection is definitely a better option if you're not averse to needles because you can dial in a much smaller dose of naloxone that will work as well as Narcan, but without slamming someone into immediate withdrawal.
That's weird, I was trained to give it by needle, never seen it done that way
When I was briefly an emt in NY, we were trained to use narcan with a nasal atomizer.
