Drug Alert: Winnipeg - Tue. September 1, 2026

A yellow powder believed to be DOWN and associated with a fatal overdose contained fentanyl and medetomidine.

Medetomidine is a sedative/tranquilizer only approved for use in animals.

Combining high-potency opioids like fentanyl with tranquilizers increases the risk of a complex overdose with suppression of breathing, blood pressure and heart rate.

Naloxone will not reverse the medetomidine, but should still be given to reverse the opioid component.

The sample was brought to Street Connections on August 21, where it tested positive on strips for fentanyl and mede. Health Canada Drug Analysis Service (DAS) confirmed that it contained fentanyl, medetomidine and para-fluorofentanyl.
