By rssfeeds-admin KENTUCKY (FOX 56) — A deadly street drug is making its way through Kentucky, and Attorney General Russell Coleman is working to stop it before more lives are lost.
Bromazolam, also known as “designer Xanax,” is reportedly being sold online and on the streets and often passed off as a prescription pill.
Coleman said in a Tuesday news release that the drug is extremely dangerous and has been tied to the deaths of 47 Kentuckians last year. He urges people to only take medications that have been prescribed by a doctor and filled at a licensed pharmacy.
“We live at a time when as little as one pill can—and is—kill our children. As parents and public officials, we must do all we can to stop illicit drugs and counterfeit pills,” Attorney General Coleman said. “The threat is clear, and all of us must work together to keep these drugs off our streets to save Kentuckians’ lives.”
Coleman has asked the cabinet for health and family services to schedule the drug, which would give authorities the power to crack down on those who buy and sell it.
