• Xylazine-related Overdose Warning (Archived Publication) (publication) [+]
  The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) recently issued an alert regarding overdose deaths in the US linked to Xylazine, a non-opioid central nervous system depressant. It is used as a sedative, anesthetic, muscle relaxant, and analgesic in veterinary medicine and has not been approved for use in humans. Xylazine is usually mixed with other illicit drugs, like fentanyl, because it causes the effects of opioids to last longer. In New Mexico, six xylazine-involved deaths were reported in the last five years. Xylazine is an unscheduled drug that is easily accessed, so its presence in the illicit drug supply may increase over time, due to its low cost. Reports indicate that xylazine, alone or in combination with other drugs, is administered by injecting, snorting, swallowing, or inhaling it.
