About this document
NYC Health Advisory: Carfentanil & Medetomidine by 2xxcelmusic is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The NYC Health Department has identified carfentanil and medetomidine in the local drug supply, with carfentanil being up to 100 times stronger than fentanyl and linked to multiple overdose deaths. Medetomidine, a non-opioid anesthetic, has also been found in opioid samples, necessitating the use of naloxone even though it cannot reverse its effects. The advisory emphasizes the importance of drug-checking services and overdose risk reduction strategies for individuals using drugs.
