Xylazine: An Abused Tranq Dope and its Safety Concern.
A drug called Xylazine has gained notoriety in recent times, earning the nickname "zombie drug" due to reported alarming effects on its users. Although Xylazine is primarily intended for veterinary use as a sedative and muscle relaxant for animals, there have been growing concerns about its misuse among humans, particularly in the context of illicit drug use. However, it is essential to rely on accurate and evidence-based information when discussing the health risks associated with any substance, rather than resorting to sensationalized terms like "zombie drug." The situation involving Xylazine misuse is a matter of concern, and the United States Drug Enforcement Administration has highlighted it as a significant threat to public health.
期刊介绍:
