Toxicology Investigators Consortium (ToxIC)

💥🆕 ToxIC Fentalog Study Group - Quarterly NPS Reports for Q1 and Q2 2025 from @acmtmedtox @ToxICACMT and @CFSRE_ @NPSDiscovery ‼️ 🚨Check out these new findings from 8 sites. Details on #NPS, #adulterants, & more in the US ⬇️ 🔗: cfsre.org/nps-discovery/…

Our Program Director @Kimnoshie will be presenting on 8/20 at @vps_llc covering findings from our pivotal article published in @JAMANetworkOpen >> bit.ly/ACMTJAMA<< REGISTER HERE: myvps.org/research-spotl… @acmtmedtox

With increasing kratom use/production, there is growing concern about greater exposures to 7-hydroxymitragynine, a more potent byproduct produced during manufacture/metabolism. Read the latest ToxIC NOSE Brief to learn more 🚨bit.ly/3IPpQWK🚨

🚨Publication Alert🚨Black patients less likely than white patients to receive outpatient treatment referrals after #opioid #overdose ED visits, per a ToxIC Fentalog study. Findings underscore need to address disparities in post-overdose care. ➡️bit.ly/4l1hFE2

➡️Publication Alert⬅️#Bromazolam, an emerging illicit benzo, was found in ~8% of 341 nonfatal opioid/stimulant ODs across 17 U.S. EDs. Patients w/ bromazolam had higher #fentanyl levels, despite similar fentanyl detection rates. ➡️bit.ly/46sPU3M

ACMT is proud to continue our partnership w/ NIDA on this opportunity supporting the development of expertise in SUD among Fellows + Residents. Applications due Tuesday, September 2. Learn more + apply: bit.ly/3Sd9w4O @ziadkazzi @toxicologist12 @rghendrickson @tonypizon

@acmtmedtox @acmtmedtox #firesidetox We released a brief earlier this year from our ToxIC Novel #Opioid and Stimulant Exposures (NOSE) project "#Opioid Adulterants: Is #Medetomidine the New #Xylazine?" ➡️ acmt.net/wp-content/upl…

TOPIC 1: Have you encountered challenges initiating medications for opioid use disorder in individuals using opioids that may be adulterated with #medetomidine? #firesidetox

@acmtmedtox @acmtmedtox #firesidetox Some publications from our Fentalog Study group may be of interest to the conversation: cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…

🚨Publication Alert🚨 ➡️bit.ly/46U3nl6⬅️ #Xylazine found in 1 in 5 nonfatal #opioid #overdoses across 10 U.S. EDs, mostly alongside #fentanyl. Exposure highest in Northeast vs. rare in the West. Regional trends underscore the need for targeted public health responses.

3. What is your experience with people's attitudes towards medetomidine? Are people seeking it out intentionally or is more often an adulterant to opioids or other agents?

2. Are you seeing fewer xylazine-related wounds as medetomidine becomes more prevalent in the drug supply?
