Xylazine (pronounced “zye-lah-zeen”) is a drug that is used in veterinary practice to keep animals calm, prevent them from feeling pain and help them sleep during medical procedures. Xylazine is being found more and more often in the illicit drug supply, meaning that in street drugs and drugs that you don’t get from a doctor or pharmacy, it’s becoming more and more likely that drugs are being contaminated, or mixed with xylazine.
