Interior Heath has issued an OVERDOSE ALERT for Kelowna due to a recent increase in toxic drug deaths.
The current down/opioid supply is unpredictable in its make up. These drugs often contain a benzodiazepines and/or potent tranquilizers in addition to fentanyl and analogues. This often means that there are different mechanisms of action and effects that amplify each other, contributing to higher risk of overdoses and other complications.
