news, nationalSeveral people have suffered the potentially life-threatening effects of powerful opioids, NSW poison experts say. "We've seen several people recently where acetylfentanyl was taken unknowingly and was associated with serious harm," Andrew Dawson from the NSW Poisons Information Centre said. "The side effects of acetylfentanyl include drowsiness, loss of consciousness and slowed breathing, and when taken unknowingly can cause life-threatening effects." NSW Health is issuing a public warning, urging people to call triple-zero if they suspect they have taken fentanyl or experienced any of the symptoms.
