Xylazine, a dangerous vet drug, is fueling Ohio’s overdose crisis by mixing with fentanyl, causing severe harm and resisting naloxone.
Xylazine, a veterinary sedative not safe for humans, is increasingly mixed with fentanyl and other opioids in Ohio, worsening the overdose crisis.
It causes severe respiratory depression, unconsciousness, and skin ulcers, and can resist reversal by naloxone.
Health officials urge immediate response: call 911, administer naloxone if available, provide rescue breathing, and place the person on their side.
Efforts are expanding access to naloxone, improving treatment retention, and increasing community outreach.
Experts stress that solving the crisis requires broader societal changes, better living conditions, and policy action beyond medical interventions.
