An increase in fentanyl-related deaths has been reported
A drug that is up to 100 times stronger than heroin has killed at least 60 people in the UK since December, with a further 70 suspected to have died from using the substance. Fentanyl, an opioid that is being mixed with heroin on the street, and is the same drug that killed popstar Prince last year. The National Crime Agency (NCA) has reiterated their warning to drug addicts, as well as their family and friends, about the harmful effects caused by taking the substance. This man-made sedative is sometimes prescribed to terminally ill patients because of its ultra-strength. Its sister substance carfentanyl is 10,000 times stronger and is used as an elephant tranquilizer. According to the NCA, postmortem toxicology reports since December showed that 60 people who died as a result of drug overdoses had fentanyl or a related substance in their system. 70 suspected cases are waiting for examination.
