🧪Nitazenes are a group of synthetic opioids that can be up to 20x stronger than fentanyl. ☠️
There are currently over 10 types of nitazenes -but research on them is limited.🥸🕵️

Initially developed in the 1950s as potential pain medications, 👨‍⚕️ they were never approved for medical use due to their high risk of dependency and dangerous potency. 🚫
In recent years, they have emerged in the illicit drug market all over the world.

Nitazenes were detected in multiple samples 🧪🧪 of opioids, 🧪co***ne and 🧪other substances it has no business being in, that have been tested over the past few years by drug checking services all over Australia. Substances containing nitazenes have sadly caused the hospitalisation and de@th$ of some unsuspecting Australians over the past 5 years. 💔☠️🚑

💡Nitazene test strips are the latest tool in Australia's drug harm reduction toolkit. ⚡💡
While drug testing strips are useful tools, they DO have their limitations when using with complex street drug mixtures.
Test strips cannot eliminate ALL risks or guarantee safety- but they can help identify adulterants or the need for further testing.

Harm reduction is about respecting the dignity and rights of people who use drugs, creating tools that empower us all to be active participants in our own health.
Drug checking services, reagent test kits and test strips and naloxone are all helpful overdose prevention tools when used according to instruction.

If you have used a test strip and you still feel unsure, bring your sample down to the Vic Pill Testing Service for further testing.

N-Isopropyl Butylone is still showing up in co***ne samples at our Fitzroy site.

This is a synthetic cathinone (bath salt) — it's not co***ne, it hits differently, and people aren't expecting it.

If you're using co***ne in Victoria right now, this is worth knowing.

Get your drugs checked at 95 Brunswick St, Fitzroy — Thu 10am–4pm, Fri–Sat 1pm–7pm.

The Victorian Pill Testing Service has previously issued two notifications regarding medetomidine detected in benzodiazipines.

What IS this new big bad? We decided to take a deeper dive into it.

Medetomidine - pronounced 'Meh-Deh-Toe-mih-deen', it's a potent NON-opioid sedative used in vet medicine
Medetomidine is very potent and long acting - Consuming even a small amount can result in heavy sedation.
It's important to note that medetomidine IS NOT AN OPIOID so naloxone WON'T have ANY effect on it in an emergency.

KNOW what overdose looks like in someone:
- Slumping over while sitting or even standing
- Nodding off or not being able to wake up
- Not breathing or slow shallow breathing
- Gurgling sounds or snoring
- Blue or grey fingertips or lips
If you notice ANY of these signs or the person is unresponsive- Call triple zero '000' immediately.
If breathing- put into the recovery position and monitor until help arrives.
If not breathing- start rescue breaths and continue until the ambulance arrives.

TIPS to REDUCING POSSIBLE HARM
☝️Avoid using it alone.
✌️Start Low- Go Slow
🤟Avoid mixing substances
✌️✌️ Call 000 if you feel any adverse effects when taking drugs.
🖐️ Carry naloxone- whether you plan to use an opioid or not.

Contact us if you have any questions.
