ABOUT CYCHLORPHINE
At Unspoken Scars, we know firsthand that one decision, one pill, and one moment can change a family forever. Education saves lives.
A dangerous synthetic opioid called cyclorphine is now being reported in counterfeit pills made to look like legitimate prescription medications, including pink and white “Perc 10” tablets.
Early reports suggest cyclorphine may be more potent than fentanyl, increasing the risk of overdose and making it more difficult to reverse.
May require MULTIPLE doses of naloxone (Narcan) may be needed in an emergency.

If parents know what to watch for, they can start conversations.
If friends recognize overdose signs, they can call 911 and use Narcan.
