## Resource

San Francisco’s health officials are sounding the alarm over deadly counterfeit pills disguised as everyday meds, with a recent overdose death linked to two ultra-potent synthetic opioids—ten times stronger than fentanyl. These fakes, often sold online and targeting younger users via social media, are spreading nationwide, even as overdose deaths in the city have dipped. Though no other deaths from these specific opioids have been reported since April, experts warn: one overdose is one too many, and vigilance is critical.
