Xylazine

Xylazine is an analgesic drug primarily used within the veterinary industry as a tranquilizer. It has not been approved for human use, however, in recent years it has been linked to the USAs illicit drug supply. Studies continue to see the drug, which is not deemed an opioid, used as an additive in heroin and illicit fentanyl, and the severity of its side effects remain a concern: depressed breathing, blood pressure, heart rate and body temperature to critical levels.

Whilst the prevalence of Xylazine is showing no sign of decreasing, Randox Toxicology continue to lead in new test development within the ever-changing drugs of abuse market. Our newly established test for xylazine is the first immunoassay test in the world for this drug of abuse.
