Xylazine, known by street names like “tranq,” “tranq dope, and “zombie drug,” is a non-opioid veterinary tranquilizer, analgesic, and muscle relaxant that is not approved for human use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Xylazine has been in the street opioid supply of Puerto Rico for some time and, more recently, has been linked to an increasing number of overdose deaths in all regions of the United States.
