The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) said it would spend money on “a heroin and prescription opioid training curriculum will be developed and used to prepare rural and municipal officers and first responders who are inexperienced responding to heroin and prescription opioid-related incidents."
"A recent report from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration found that four out of five recent heroin initiates had previously used prescription pain relievers non-medically."
Also "compounded or repackaged drugs that have been stored in 3 mL and 5 mL syringes manufactured by Becton-Dickinson (BD)...may lose potency over a period of time due to a possible interaction with the rubber stopper in the syringe, according to an FDA safety notice."
