RCMP with a warning after a drug seizure in the Amherst area back in the fall.
The Mounties say drugs were removed from a vehicle coming into the province from New Brunswick, including
a small quantity of white pills and purple powder.
The pills are described as white triangular shaped tablets with a line down the middle.
The letter ‘’M’’ is on one side and the number “8” is on the other side.
Both the power and the pills were sent to Health Canada for analysis.
The results came back showing that Isotonitazene was found in the pills and powder.
Health Canada advises that that Isotonitazene, or Iso, is a potent opioid with similar effects to fentanyl.
Like fentanyl, it can slowly be absorbed through the skin, so it is potentially dangerous to handle.
