The introduction of fentanyl into illicit drugs has been responsible for thousands of overdose deaths. Opioid overdose occurs when an individual takes too much of an opioid for their body to handle. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 50-100 times stronger than morphine. In recent years, it has been found in not just heroin, but in cocaine, methamphetamine, and counterfeit pills as well. 

Research has confirmed that fentanyl test strips are an accurate, low-cost, and relatively easy method of testing drugs for the presence of fentanyl and its analogs.


A few notes about fentanyl test strips:

  • Naloxone can reverse a fentanyl overdose. It’s essential to have naloxone on hand if you or people in your network use substances. You can ‘add on’ fentanyl test strips to your FREE naloxone mailing.
    Click here to have BOTH naloxone and fentanyl strips mailed to you.

    • Slow or stopped breathing from a fentanyl overdose may occur much faster than an overdose from heroin. Please keep naloxone on hand in all cases.

  • Remember that fentanyl may not be the only potentially risky substance present in your drugs. Always start low and go slow. Fentanyl test strips can be helpful but aren’t always enough. Other drug checking tools like reagent kits can be used but legality varies by state & they are expensive.

  • These strips are originally made for testing urine. Harm reductionists have repurposed them to test fentanyl in drug residue. Please pay attention to the directions that will be sent to you when first using the strips.

Fentanyl test strips can also be purchased from TheHup, DanceSafe and Bunk Police.

You can use the form below to request fentanyl test strips be mailed discretely to your home. If you need Narcan or intramuscular naloxone as well, use this page to access free supplies with an easy fentanyl test strip add-on.
