A Dangerous Imitation “Aspirin” Has Been Found In Yavapai County

Yavapai County’s Partners Against Narcotics Trafficking unit is warning the public of a dangerous imitation aspirin that has been found in the area. In two recent cases, white round pills with no identifiers were discovered. Upon testing, the pills were found to contain Xylazine and acetaminophen. Xylazine is a pharmaceutical drug typically used for sedation and anesthesia in animals such as horses and cattle. The U.S. has seen a rise in recreational use of the imitation aspirin.
