Etizolam, which is not licensed in Canada, has a highly sedating effect on a person, with drowsiness, blackouts and memory loss that can persist for hours.
A drug found in 40 per cent of tests conducted on people who died from an overdose in B.C. over the past two years does not respond to the overdose-reversing drug naloxone and is creating “life-saving challenges” for first responders.
Between July 2020 and May 2022, etizolam was found in 40 per cent of suspected illicit drug toxicity deaths that have undergone expedited testing by the Coroners Service. The rate of detection in July 2020 was 15 per cent. Five to 10 times more potent than diazepam It is considered to be five to 10 times more potent than diazepam.
At least one stimulant was detected in 73 per cent of the samples and 44 per cent found at least one benzodiazepine. Nineteen per cent detected at least one other opioid, according to the report, which revealed B.C. is on pace to surpass last year’s death toll of 2,265.
