In most cases xylazine is mixed with strong opioids such as heroin or fentanyl, but a study earlier this year by King’s College London showed it has also been found in counterfeit prescription medication tablets, vapes and cocaine.The study, published in the journal Addiction, warned about side effects including airway compromise and skin ulcers - or “tissue necrosis” - which can lead to limb amputation.Researchers highlighted how use of the drug has become a major concern in the US and this "public health threat has now expanded to the United Kingdom".

Vicki told me that in her mum's final days in hospital she was repeatedly offered the option of Maid by medical staff, describing it as like a "sales pitch".
