Alberta RCMP are issuing a critical warning about a potentially deadly supply of illegal opiates that closely resemble a prescription medication called Xanax. Xanax is commonly used for anti-anxiety and is opiate-free. The replica pills have tested positive for deadly quantities of the highly potent opioid known as isotonitazene.
The pills containing the opiate are described as:
- Grey in appearance;
- Rectangular shaped ;
- Have the letters ONAX imprinted on one side;
- Have the number “2” printed vertically on the other side.
Prescriptions should only be purchased from a reputable licensed pharmacist. If you have information about replica prescriptions, please contact your local police or call 310-RCMP.
