Deaths across the country – green and yellow pills containing isotonitazene

GM Greenyellow pill nitazeen alert

Isotonitazene is one of a group of synthetic opioids known as nitazenes.

Over 250 people have died in the last year after drugs sold as heroin,
diazepam (street Valium), oxycodone or other street drugs were adulterated
with nitazenes.

It is believed that these green and yellow pills were obtained online.

Assume that any heroin, diazepam, oxycodone, tramadol or other street or
online drugs may contain nitazenes

Start any new batch of drugs with a small test dose

Using diazepam, pregabalin or alcohol at the same time as opioids like
heroin, methadone, oxycodone or tramadol increases risk

Don’t use alone. Use with friends and take it in turns to look after each other

Watch out for signs of an overdose in friends

Naloxone is an antidote to an opioid overdose.

If you use street, online opioids or diazepam make sure you have naloxone
and be prepared to use it - you may have to use more than one dose

After using Naloxone - Ring for an ambulance as naloxone will wear off.
