    The approval of the drug, called RiVive, will provide patients with another over-the-counter option in the United States, where drug-related overdose deaths surpassed 100,000 in 2021.

    So now they’re just throwing xylazine into the mix which isn’t stopped by narcan types.

      Who is throwing Xylazine into the mix? A good reversal agent for Xylazine is Yohimbine, and I wonder if cops will start carrying it around since Xylazine is becoming a more popular drug in America. Consequently I wonder what the rising price of both drugs is going to do veterinary clinics across the country. This stuff isn’t cheap.

        It’s being cut by xylazine now allegedly from what I was trained on before I retired.
