May 7 is National Fentanyl Awareness Day to honor all Americans whose lives have been lost to this incredibly potent synthetic opioid. Staggering facts: - In 2022 alone, 107,941 Americans died from drug #overdoses, with 70% caused by fentanyl and synthetic opioids. - Fentanyl still remains the leading cause of death among Americans aged 18-45 mostly through purchases of fake pills that look like prescription medications, such as oxycodone, Xanax, Percocet, and Adderall. - Many of the people poisoned by fentanyl had no idea they were even taking it. Today, we must also emphasize the awareness and importance of #harmreduction measures, which include: - Effective use of opioid reversal medication #naloxone. - Use of fentanyl test strips to determine whether a substance has been adulterated and allow individuals to make more informed decisions about their substance use. - Treatment of the Opioid Use Disorder through improved access, availability, and affordability of #buprenorphine. #overdosepreventinon #substanceusedisorder #opioidusedisorder #pharmacists #pharmacy
