HEALTH chiefs have issued a warning that potentially deadly prescription pills are circulating in the North of Ireland.
A spokesperson said red and white capsules containing anti-anxiety medication pregabalin have been illegally manufactured for the black market.
Peter Moore added that people should avoid illicit prescription medicines.
“Young people in particular may be unaware of the potentially fatal consequences of taking these drugs, particularly when taken with alcohol,” he said.
“Be in no doubt that medicines sourced in this way present a real danger to those taking them.”
