From Dr
Ruth Hussey, Chief Medical
Officer for Wales
INCIDENTS POTENTIALLY LINKED TO SUBSTANCE MISUSE
An alert has been issued in respect of stimulants which
have been implicated in the deaths of two people in the last 4 days and others in the last 4 weeks as well as a number
of hospitalisations, in Ireland.
While
investigations are ongoing into these cases, it is believed that they are as a
result of the ingestion of an Ecstasy like substance. Green Apple and Green
Rolex, (green pills with an apple or rolex symbol) appear have to been
implicated in some of these incidents. Other
stimulants indicated include cocaine, and amphetamines which in some
circumstances have been taken in combination. Therefore, those who take drugs
should be specifically warned of potential dangers linked to these substances
or using drugs in combinations.
