Doctors issue warning over man-made opioid Nitazene that is deadlier than FENTANYL and 1,000 times more potent than morphine – as it makes its way into US drug supply

Doctors are raising concerns over a drug making its way into the US that is deadlier than fentanyl.

Researchers say Nitazines, also a synthetic opioid, are now being detected in overdose patients brought to hospitals.

The drug is thought to be about 1,000 times more powerful than morphine with patients needing at least two doses of naloxone to fight off an overdose.

‘Clinicians should be aware of these opioids in the drug supply so they are adequately prepared to care for these patients,’ said doctors at Mount Sinai, New York, who issed the warning.
