Interior Health has issued another drug alert for Kamloops.
A light yellow or beige granular substance – which is being sold as ‘Down’ – was tested at ASK Wellness where it was found to contain etizolam and fentanyl.
The health authority says this substance carries a high risk of overdose and people may not fully respond to naloxone.
People are being encouraged to get their drugs checked and avoid using alone. Drugs can be checked at ASK Wellness at 433 Tranquille Road, and you’ll find more details here. Anyone using alone is also asked to download the Lifeguard app.
This drug alert will be in effect until Oct. 2.
