Multiple opioid overdoses following use of cocaine

Six people recently presented to hospitals in Sydney and Western NSW with opioid overdoses after using what they thought was cocaine.

A public drug warning has been published on the NSW Health website.

Please share this information with your peers, clients, and professional networks as appropriate.

Naloxone is a life-saving medicine that can temporarily reverse an opioid overdose. Naloxone is available in an easy to use nasal spray, and as a pre-filled injection.

If you might experience or witness an opioid overdose you can get naloxone for free without a prescription in NSW from many community pharmacies, needle and syringe programs, opioid treatment services and NUAA.
