USI warns students to stay away from Fentanyl after drug-related deaths

The Union of Students in Ireland is urging young people to stay away from Opiate drugs known as Fentanyls' after a number of drug-related deaths in Dublin and Cork in recent weeks.

Fentanyl is a narcotic analgesic used in both anaesthetics and for analgesia, but a number of non-pharmaceutical Fentanyls have been implicated in deaths where it was believed to be Heroin.
