Lynnwood Police said in the first six months of 2023 they're seeing a new deadly drug that is resistant to the life-saving medication.
It’s an alarming trend Lynnwood Police said in the first six months of 2023 they’ve already administered twice the amount of Naloxone compared to the same timeframe in 2022. They’ve also started to see a new deadly drug that is resistant to the life-saving medication. That new drug is called “tranq”.
Fentanyl is cut with Xylazine, or tranq, or more common country-wide. The US Drug Enforcement Administration found the heavy sedative in 23% of powder and 7% of fentanyl pills confiscated in 2022. That drug has now started to creep into the Pacific Northwest. “There’s no way to know whether that’s Xylazine or whether the person took valium or alcohol or twice as much fentanyl than before,” said Dr. Banta-Green. He added, “Particularly for the rock form we found a huge variability in the potency of fentanyl from about 6% to 38%. That’s a huge range in purity.”
Officials said if you see someone overdosing, first call 911 immediately then administer naloxone if you have it.
