A potent kratom‑derived opioid, MGM‑15, caused an overdose death in SF. Seen in UT and WA, this is SF’s first fatal case. MGM‑15, now Schedule I, was sold as “cat’s claw.” Use naloxone, call 911 for suspected overdoses. Treatment: 888‑246‑3333. Learn more:ow.ly/vX3B50ZZPi8

SF Public Health Director Dan Tsai appeared on @KQEDForum on Wednesday to talk about what SF is doing in response to cychlorphine, an emerging powerful synthetic opioid that was detected in a recent fatal overdose of an SF teen.
Take a listen here: kqed.org/forum/20101019…
Remember:
✅The safest thing to do is to not use illicit drugs
✅Carry Naloxone, you can get it here: sf.gov/information--a…
Naloxone can reverse an opioid overdose when given quickly. It works on all opioids, including newer types. ✅If you think someone is having an overdose, give naloxone right away, even if you are not sure what drugs they took.

A promotional graphic shows a person wearing a collared, patterned shirt against a blue background. White text on the left reads: “I love SF City Option as an option. I use the app on my phone to submit my receipts and get reimbursed. The money goes straight to my bank account. It’s nice and it works!” The quote is attributed to Trish. At the bottom left is the San Francisco Department of Public Health seal and name. The bottom right corner displays the website sfcityoption.org.
