FDA Approves First-Ever OTC Fentanyl Test for Consumer Use
WOODLAND HILLS, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, August 1, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — DrugTestKitUSA, a trusted supplier of drug screening and test supplies, is excited to announce the FDA clearance of an Over-the-Counter (OTC) fentanyl test —a significant step in the fight against opioid abuse and overdose. Opioid overdoses result in more than 1600 deaths in the US per week.
Fentanyl testing has traditionally been limited to forensic or professional use.
On Oct 27, 2023, FDA announced the approval of a Fentanyl Urine Test Cassette. This test provides results in 5 minutes.
The FDA’s recent approval has opened the doors for the general public to purchase OTC fentanyl tests, providing an opportunity for individuals and communities to take proactive measures in addressing the fentanyl crisis.
To understand the significance of this regulatory shift, it is important to understand the fentanyl overdose crisis. Fentanyl is a potent opioid and it is responsible for a significant portion of opioid-related overdoses. According to recent studies by the Council on Foreign Relations, fentanyl caused 1.5 trillion dollars in damages in 2020, and a November 2023 report found that 106,000 deaths occurred in the U.S. form May 2022 to May 2023 as a result of fentanyl overdose.
In light of the alarming rise in fentanyl-related incidents, the DrugTestKitUSA team encourages individuals, families, and communities to take advantage of the recent availability of OTC fentanyl tests. By doing so, the community can help create a safer drug-free environment and contribute to curbing the tragic fentanyl epidemic.
DrugTestKitUSA recently added the accessible fentanyl urine cassette to their assortment of products. The OTC fentanyl urine test kit is available now on their website.
