Overdose

Drug Combinations Known to Cause More Overdose Deaths

IT’S NOT COMPLICATED –

Feb. 20, 2023 – “It presents sort of a problem because in an overdose situation, the Narcan isn’t going to work. It’s not an opiate, so Narcan is not going to reverse it,” Kalfas said. 

Since many people are unaware that xylazine is being added, they’re unprepared if there’s an overdose.

“It’s really important that you get medical attention,” said Newtown Police Chief Tom Synan. “This is not just a matter of giving Narcan and walking away. You may have to give Narcan, you may have to give CPR, but always call 911.” …Addiction experts warn that people need to remain aware because most places find out the dangerous combination has arrived from the coroner.

“Unfortunately, there’s going to be a couple of people that die from it before you realize it’s there,” Kalfas said.
