Fentanyl

It is imperative that everyone handling controlled substances be cognizant of the hazards that are inherent with some of these drugs and take appropriate precautions. The Indiana State Police Laboratory’s Drug Unit has identified fentanyl and carfentanil in casework samples. Several overdoses have been linked to these drugs and they can pose significant dangers to those exposed to them.

For more information read the Indiana State Police Laboratory's General Precautions for Dangerous Drugs Special Bulletin.
