Canadian officials have yet again seized falsified Percocet tablets. The fake products, which are said to be very similar to the genuine tablets, contain fentanyl. They are round and are stamped with the letters TEC. The police has not disclosed further information about the haul but has issued a warning to remind the public of fentanyl overdose side effects:
• intense drowsiness
• very slow heart rate
• breathing complications
• cold, clammy skin
• difficulty speaking or walking
