3. What is your experience with people's attitudes towards medetomidine? Are people seeking it out intentionally or is more often an adulterant to opioids or other agents?

Toxicology Investigators Consortium (ToxIC) @toxicacmt.bsky.social · Jul 21

2. Are you seeing fewer xylazine-related wounds as medetomidine becomes more prevalent in the drug supply?

🚨Publication Alert🚨These findings focused on the presence of para-fluorofentanyl (PFF) point to important differences in OD response/treatment linked to fentanyl analogs w/ sex-specific effects that merit further investigation. 📖https://bit.ly/3Gv0gp3
