President Joe Biden’s drug czar declares that fentanyl mixed with xylazine, an animal tranquilizer known as “tranq,” has been linked to a rising number of overdose deaths across the U.S. and presents an “emerging threat” facing the nation.
It's believed to be added to other drugs to increase profits. Officials are trying to understand how much of it is diverted from veterinary uses and how much is made illicitly.
While it's often used in conjunction with opioids, including fentanyl and related illicit lab-made drugs, it's not an opioid. And there are no known antidotes.
