Counterfeit pills that contain illegal drugs are especially dangerous because they combine potent, unpredictable substances with zero quality control and deceptive appearance.

What makes these counterfeit pills so dangerous?

• They often contain powerful synthetic opioids like fentanyl or nitazenes, sometimes in doses high enough to kill with a single pill.

• The amount of drug in each pill can vary wildly, so one pill might have little effect and the next could be lethal.

• They are made in informal or clandestine labs with no testing, standards, or medical oversight.

• They are intentionally pressed and stamped to look like real medications (for example oxycodone “M30,” Xanax, or Adderall), so many people think they are taking a pharmaceutical product when they are not.

In short, people may believe they are taking a known dose of a familiar medicine, but are actually taking an unknown mix of very strong illegal drugs.

If you or someone around you is using pills from non‑medical sources, this carries a real risk of overdose. In an emergency, call local emergency services immediately and use naloxone if available.
