The animal sedative xylazine is flooding the illegal opioid market causing overdose, death and worse.

LOS ANGELESXylazine, an animal sedative drug, is currently flooding the illicit opioid market, resulting in overdoses and deaths.

When the FDA first reported its concern over xylazine, it was not yet clear how widespread its use was. According to a report from the Philadelphia Department of Public Health, xylazine — also known by its street name "tranq" — was found in over 90 percent of dope samples tested in the agency’s labs.

In a separate study published in June 2022, xylazine was detected in the drug supply of 36 states and the District of Columbia.
