What is ‘zombie drug’?

Zombie drug is actually a common term used for a drug called Xylazine. It is a powerful sedative, commonly used in the treatment of animals. The special thing is that it is not an opioid, but sometimes it is taken in combination with dangerous drugs like Fentanyl, due to which its effect becomes more fatal.

The effects of this drug can be very serious and scary:

• The person goes into a trance-like state.
• Can remain standing or sitting without moving for hours.
• The body becomes completely numb and slow.
• Heart beat and blood pressure can fall to dangerous levels.
• For this reason, it is called zombie drug, because its effect makes a person seem lifeless even though he is alive.

It has such an effect on the skin

The most frightening effect of this drug is seen on the skin:

• Deep wounds (ulcers) start forming on the body.
• The skin may harden and turn black.
• In serious cases, it may even lead to amputation of body parts.
• This effect becomes more dangerous with repeated use.

How is zombie drug taken?

Zombie drug can be taken through injection. Apart from this, many people also take it as a fragrance and food. It is often known as Tranq Dope when it is mixed with other drugs.

Why is it even more dangerous?

The biggest concern is that the effect of this drug cannot be completely stopped with common anti-drug medicines like Naloxone, because it is not an opioid. That is, if a person is under its influence, then saving him can be even more difficult.
