Good to see more information on these new drugs. Some are much more potent than their predecessors and carry a higher risk of accidental overdose and death. This helps people to understand the risk they may be taking.

[Public Health Scotland @P_H_S_Official]

We've published the latest Rapid Action Drug Alerts and Response (RADAR) report, which presents changes on drug trends, harms and use of services in Scotland to inform immediate and short-term actions that reduce drug harms.
