How To Stay Safe With Fentanyl Test Strips

What is a Fentanyl Test Strip (FTS)?

Fentanyl test strips are a vital tool used for detecting the presence of fentanyl in counterfeit pills and powders, which helps prevent overdoses and reduces harm.

These strips are highly effective, with a sensitivity rate of 92-96% in detecting fentanyl.

Remember, never use drugs alone—always tell a friend if you’re taking something. And make sure that friend knows where to find naloxone (Narcan), a medication that can save lives.

What You Need To Know Before Using Fentanyl Test Strips:

  • Fentanyl Test Strips (FTS) do not measure how much fentanyl is in a drug sample: they only detect if fentanyl is present.

  • Fentanyl is often unevenly mixed with other drugs. This means one part of a drug might have no fentanyl while another part could be deadly. Pills should be crushed entirely and tested before use. Test every part of the drug you plan to use to stay safe.

  • There are different instructions for testing powders versus pills. See the video above for more information.
