Counterfeit prescription drugs seized in Sarnia
During the execution of a search warrant in late April, police seized 13 tablets resembling pharmaceuticals.
On Monday, police received a certificate of analysis from Health Canada indicating that the tablets contained N-Pyrrolidino protonitazene, a new synthetic opioid.
Although the tablets looked like oxycodone, a strong pain reliever, they contain a Schedule I substance contrary to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. The tablets are white, circular and have a '10/325' stamp on one side and 'RP' on the other side.
Sarnai Police say the presence of counterfeit pharmaceuticals poses a serious threat to community safety and warns about the danger associated with using drugs that aren't prescribed by a physician or pharmacist.
