UPMC has created a blueprint for treating patients experiencing gruesome side effects from drugs laced with xylazine.
A new and potent sedative has been found mixed in with the illicit drug supply in Philadelphia, and it's more powerful than xylazine, another animal sedative.
Xylazine, known on the street as "tranq," is a horse tranquilizer that drug dealers mix with illicit drugs to increase the high from opioids.
Doctors in Pittsburgh say they're seeing a serious uptick in people dealing with serious side effects of xylazine.
Legislation to keep an animal tranquilizer accessible for its intended use by veterinarians, but criminalize it in combination with other drugs, has passed the Pennsylvania state House.
The Beaver County district attorney is warning about the animal tranquilizer xylazine after he said two people fatally overdosed on the drug.
Federal officials are calling for more testing and research on xylazine, the powerful animal sedative that's spreading through the nation's illicit drug supply.
Pennsylvania is taking steps to limit access to the veterinary tranquilizer xylazine by scheduling it as a schedule III drug.
