    The pills look like Dilaudid 8's.

    A warning today about a street drug that can lead to death. The NL Centre for Substance Abuse and The Canadian Community Epidemiology Network on Drug Use (CCENDU) say people have been reporting a dangerous drug. These pills look just like Dilaudid 8’s but may contain fentanyl. This increases the risk of overdose and even death. The NLCSA recommends users start with a small dose and go slow to test, carry a naloxone test and call 911 in the event of an overdose. Call 634-7927 or 811 for a naloxone kit.
