Nitazene Threat in Halton | Toronto News

A deadly new synthetic opioid called nitazene is flooding the streets in Halton Region—far more potent than fentanyl and often mixed into other drugs, making overdoses harder to reverse. Health Canada warns even multiple doses of naloxone may not work, and survivors need extended medical monitoring. Dr. Patrick Galange calls it “extremely concerning,” urging anyone using opioids—or those around them—to carry naloxone, recognize overdose signs, and call 911 immediately.
