The Minnesota Department of Health issued a health advisory last week warning of an increase in overdose cases involving sedatives.
Data collected by the department’s Minnesota Drug Overdose and Substance Use Surveillance Activity (MNDOSA) project shows just one overdose case where the sedative xylazine was detected. That number jumped to 53 in 2024.
