US health regulators issued an import alert for drug ingredients and products related to Xylazine in order to restrict its unlawful entry into the United States.
- U.S. health regulators on Tuesday issued an import alert for drug ingredients and products related to Xylazine, used largely as a veterinary tranquilizer but has been a drug of abuse, to restrict its unlawful entry into the United States.
Under the alert, the FDA will do an entry review of evidence offered by importers if incoming Xylazine is properly labeled, not adulterated, and for legitimate use. Xylazine has increasingly been found in illicit drugs and detected in overdose deaths, the agency said in its statement, adding that its staff may detain shipments found in violation of the law during the review.
