INTERPOL has issued a global alert for a drug knows as 2.4-dinitrophenol (DNP), an illicit and potentially lethal drug sold as a dieting and body-building aid.

The “Orange Notice” (PDF) warning about DNP was published after a woman in the United Kingdom died and a man in France was left seriously ill after taking the substance.

In the 1930s, DNP was used to boost metabolism and encourage weight loss, but it was taken out of circulation due to several deaths. Sold as a plain yellow powder, capsules, or cream, DNP is often illegally manufactured and sold via the Internet; unsafe manufacturing of the drug and potential contamination may be magnifying the dangers of taking the drug, notes INTERPOL.

Pharmacists in California may now provide naloxone, the medication that can help to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose, without a prescription after the California State Board of Pharmacy approved new emergency regulations (PDF).

To be eligible to dispense the drug under the new regulations, pharmacists must complete one hour of continuing education (CE) on the use of the drug, notes a press release (PDF) from the Board.

When dispensing the drug, pharmacists must screen for any hypersensitivity, and must provide the recipient with training in opioid overdose prevention, recognition, response, and on the administration of the drug.

The pharmacist must also provide the recipient a naloxone fact sheet (PDF), which has been approved by the Board.

In October 2014, NABP released a statement supporting an active role for pharmacists in increasing access to naloxone.

NABP is also active in educating consumers about prescription drug abuse and prevention through the AWARXE® Prescription Drug Safety Program, and information and educational resources on these topics are available on the program’s website.
