WEDINOS Philtre annual report 2022 to 2023

Annual

This report shows benzodiazepines remain the most commonly identified group of psychoactive substances submitted, with a total of 18 identified.

WEDINOS analysis again highlights concerns of substance substitution within the UK drug market. Over the past year, Bromazolam was the most commonly identified benzodiazepine, and most often purchased with the belief that it was Diazepam. Because Bromazolam is more potent than Diazepam, this creates enhanced risk of harm and overdose as individual consumers are not aware of dose, time of onset of effects, duration of effects or contraindications with other substances.
