Patient Alerts from ToxiPharm are plain-language guides written for people in treatment — not for clinicians. When something new and dangerous shows up in the drug supply, this is where we explain what it is, what it does, and what it means for you and your care.
Patient Alerts are issued for new and dangerous drugs entering the illicit supply — not for every topic. If an alert exists, it exists because the threat is real and urgent.
No medical jargon. No dense pharmacology. Each alert tells you what the drug is, what it does to your body, and what you need to tell your care team.
Each alert is designed to print clearly as a one-page handout. Treatment centers, drug courts, and MAT programs are welcome to print and distribute these freely.

Knowing how to use naloxone (Narcan) can save a life. This video walks through recognizing the signs of an opioid overdose and administering naloxone step by step. Watch it, share it, and make sure the people around you know where the Narcan is and how to use it.
If you are in a treatment program or drug court: everyone in your circle should know how to use naloxone — not just the person in treatment.
Treatment is available regardless of insurance status. Most programs have options for the uninsured, and federal and state programs cover medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for most people. Start with the resources below.
ToxiPharm works directly with treatment centers, drug courts, and MAT programs to develop patient-facing education on drug testing and emerging threats — customized to your patient population and your program's needs.
New Patient Alerts and clinical updates are announced in ToxSignal — the free clinical toxicology newsletter from ToxiPharm.
