Some people may not realize if drugs have been mixed with fentanyl, leading to higher chances of overdose and death.
"In today’s society assume fentanyl is going to be in that drug no matter what they say it is. Fentanyl will be present.” TROY , Ala. - The Troy Police Department has responded to “several medical calls” believed to be related to Fentanyl, the department said in a statement Thursday.Just 2 milligrams of fentanyl — equal to around 10 grains of table salt — is considered a lethal dose.
The Troy Police Department reminded the public of the dangers of taking any medications they do not receive from a pharmacy and prescribed to them by their physician. Fentanyl is commonly mixed with other drugs like heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine and MDMA. This is because it takes much less to produce a high with fentanyl, making it a cheaper option for drug dealers.
Illegal fentanyl is sold as a powder, on blotter papers, in eye droppers, in nasal sprays, or made into pills that look like real prescription opioids. A fentanyl overdose decreases the amount of oxygen that reaches the brain, which can lead to permanent brain damage, coma, and death.Troy Police Department: 566-0500and receive the latest local news and weather straight to your email every morning.
