NSW health alert as MDMA tablets hospitalise 3 due to containing Nitazene.

The New South Wales Ministry of Health have released a warning about 'RedBull' logo tablets being sold as MDMA as actually containing Nitazines, one tablet they tested contained no MDMA whatsoever. 

The warning comes after three people were hospitalised in Sydney after taking what they believed to be MDMA tablets, some of the individuals only took half a tab, and one was admitted to ICU and later discharged. 

As we saw with Fentanyl and it's derivatives, Nitazines seem to be fast becoming the newest drug problem, largely because they are being secreted in other drugs unbeknownst to the users. Once again the cheaper and more potent nature of synthetic opioids means that manufacturers and dealers are cutting them in to drugs to make their supplies go further, and earn more.
