We are sharing the visual differences between heroin currently being sold on the market compared with N-Pyrrolidino protonitazene which is being sold as ‘new heroin’ or stronger heroin 👇🏽
We have on-going concern for N-Pyrrolidino protonitazene being sold on the Dublin and Cork markets to those who use heroin. There is a high risk for people who use heroin at this time. These substances may appear sporadically and unexpectedly.

Really!
Our target should be ~10% accessing treatment per annum
