Commenter warns fentanyl is being mixed into pills, urges naloxone nasal spray
Summary
During the meeting a commenter warned that fentanyl is being mixed into other drugs and said naloxone nasal spray can save lives; remarks were part of public comment and no formal action was taken.
A commenter at the meeting warned that fentanyl is increasingly being mixed into other drugs and urged awareness and use of naloxone nasal spray to reverse overdoses.
The commenter said, “Fentanyl is being mixed into everything now. There's only 1 thing that will save somebody's life. That is naloxone nasal spray.” The same speaker added, “Fentanyl, it's cheap, it's potent, and it's profitable,” and asked rhetorically, “Why would drug dealers put a lethal dose of fentanyl in drugs if they know it's so harmful? Really just all about the money.” Another remark during the same sequence noted, “I just didn't realize that 1 pill could change your whole life.”
These remarks appeared in the meeting record as public commentary; no formal motions, votes or staff directives related to drug-safety distribution or training were recorded in the transcript. The statements reflect the speakers' concern and are presented as reported public comment, not as verified findings or policy decisions.
No agency representatives quoted in the transcript provided data, statistics, or announced a plan of action in response to the comments.
