This causes individuals to purchase drugs like Xanax, only to experience a life-threatening fentanyl overdose after taking the substance.

This substance is so potent that it is often used on large animals like horses or cattle.\u00a0 On the street, xylazine may be referred to as \u201cTranq.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Because it is a muscle relaxant, it depresses the central nervous system. Oftentimes, xylazine is injected into the muscle, veins, or under the skin when used by a veterinarian. It may be combined with other medications like ketamine or halothane.<\/p>\n<p>Xylazine is not a controlled substance in the United States because it is a drug intended for veterinary uses. This means it is not regulated within the context of human use by the FDA. This creates an issue where individuals could be buying and selling prescriptions of xylazine, allowing the substance to fall into the wrong hands.<\/p>\n<p>While this drug is not an opioid, it is often mixed into opioid drugs to create a more intense and less costly high.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_Effects_of_Xylazine\"><\/span>What are the Effects of Xylazine?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While this substance is not controlled, there is a huge potential for abuse. Recently, this drug has become a common substance of abuse in Puerto Rico, where a study found that 80% of people surveyed had abused the drug and 37% of the syringes found on the island tested positive for it.[2]<\/p>\n<p>Because xylazine is a horse tranquilizer, it can have some extremely dangerous effects on humans. As a central nervous system depressant, it may cause effects such as slowed heart rate, low blood pressure, and respiratory depression.<\/p>\n<p>Other adverse effects of xylazine on humans may include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Staggering gait<\/li>\n<li>High blood sugar<\/li>\n<li>Disorientation<\/li>\n<li>Drowsiness<\/li>\n<li>Blurry vision<\/li>\n<li>Coma<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Xylazine may have a similar sedative effect on humans as it does on animals. However, because it is not designed for human consumption, taking this substance is not safe. Xylazine has been found to cause life-threatening overdoses in people who abuse this drug knowingly or unknowingly.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Xylazine_Cause_an_Overdose\"><\/span>Can Xylazine Cause an Overdose?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, \u201cXylazine, a non-opioid veterinary tranquilizer not approved for human use, has been linked to an increasing number of overdose deaths nationwide in the evolving drug addiction and overdose crisis.\u201d[3]<\/p>\n<p>Xylazine is often combined with opioid drugs like <a href=\"https:\/\/newjerseyaddictioninterventions.com\/how-long-does-fentanyl-stay-in-your-system\/\">fentanyl<\/a> to create a longer-lasting euphoric effect. However, this combination of potent drugs could lead to a life-threatening overdose.<\/p>\n<p>The symptoms of a xylazine overdose include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hypotension (low blood pressure)<\/li>\n<li>Severe respiratory depression (lungs fail to exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen)<\/li>\n<li>Bradycardia (dangerously slow heart rate)<\/li>\n<li>Comatose state<\/li>\n<li>Death<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Overdose can lead to a coma or death, so emergency medical services must be contacted immediately if someone displays the signs of an overdose.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Naloxone_Work_on_Xylazine\"><\/span>Does Naloxone Work on Xylazine?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Naloxone is an opioid overdose reversal drug and an opioid antagonist. This means that it binds to opioid receptors in the brain and blocks the effects of other opioids. So, if someone is overdosing on heroin or fentanyl, naloxone could save their life.<\/p>\n<p>But does naloxone work on a xylazine overdose? Unfortunately, no.<\/p>\n<p>Xylazine is not an opioid drug, so if the individual is overdosing on this substance naloxone will not reverse the effects. This makes it extremely important for people to contact emergency medical services as soon as someone displays the signs of an overdose.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that the symptoms of a Xylazine overdose are similar to that of an opioid overdose. If someone is unsure of the drugs an individual has taken, naloxone can be administered while emergency medical services are being contacted. Administering naloxone can not hurt someone who hasn\u2019t taken opioids. It is a safe medication.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Prevalence_of_Xylazine_in_the_Drug_Supply\"><\/span>The Prevalence of Xylazine in the Drug Supply<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Xylazine has been found in the United States. This drug seems to have moved westward, however it is still impacting the northeast the most.<\/p>\n<p>According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, \u201cFrom 2015 to 2020, the percentage of all drug overdose deaths involving xylazine increased from 2% to 26% in Pennsylvania. Xylazine was involved in 19% of all drug overdose deaths in Maryland in 2021 and 10% in Connecticut in 2020.\u201d[3]<\/p>\n<p>Oftentimes, xylazine is used as an adulterant in other drugs. This means that drugs are cut with xylazine to make the substance cheaper and more potent. Unfortunately, this has led to an increase in overdose rates across the country.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Finding_Help_for_Drug_Abuse_and_Addiction\"><\/span>Finding Help for Drug Abuse and Addiction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you or a loved one suffer from drug addiction, it&#8217;s time to seek professional help. Due to the prevalence of adulterated drugs, abusing substances carries a high risk of experiencing a life-threatening overdose. To avoid experiencing a fatal overdose, you should attend addiction treatment as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Contact New Jersey Interventions today to be connected with a reputable <a href=\"https:\/\/newjerseyaddictioninterventions.com\/addiction-treatment\/\">drug abuse and addiction rehab center near you<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>References:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/nchs\/pressroom\/nchs_press_releases\/2021\/20211117.htm\">https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/nchs\/pressroom\/nchs_press_releases\/2021\/20211117.htm<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdpoison.com\/media\/SOP\/mdpoisoncom\/ToxTidbits\/2019\/Jan%202019%20ToxTidbits.pdf\">https:\/\/www.mdpoison.com\/media\/SOP\/mdpoisoncom\/ToxTidbits\/2019\/Jan%202019%20ToxTidbits.pdf<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nida.nih.gov\/research-topics\/xylazine\">https:\/\/nida.nih.gov\/research-topics\/xylazine<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The opioid epidemic in America has continued to claim the lives of thousands of people each year.
