PRINCE GEORGE – There has been an increase in overdose events in Prince George.

The reported substance has tested positive for fentanyl, contains unexpected amounts of cocaine, and is described as a white-pressed pill with “TEC” imprinted on it. It is being sold as Percocet in the Prince George area.

For your safety

  • Get overdose prevention, recognition, and response training; carry naloxone.
  • Don’t use it alone. Make a plan and tell a buddy who can call for help if needed.
  • If you plan to use alone, use the Lifeguard or BeSafe app, available free on the app store or on Toward the Heart website
  • Know your tolerance. Use much less if you are sick or had a time of abstinence or reduced use.
  • When possible, avoid mixing drugs or mixing drugs with alcohol
  • Test a small amount first and go slow
  • Use in an OPS if possible (see Prince George locations listed below)
  • Access fentanyl drug checking where available (OPS sites)
  • Call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number right away if someone overdoses
