A public health warning has been issued by Harmonious Hearts regarding potentially dangerous tablets known as \u201cCat\u2019s Claw\u201d being sold in local shops throughout Rockland County.<\/p>\n
According to the organization, the tablets are being marketed as herbal products but may contain 7-OH, a potent opioid-like substance that can pose serious health risks, including overdose.<\/p>\n
The organization warns that the risk of overdose is particularly high when the tablets are combined with alcohol, benzodiazepines, or other opioids.<\/p>\n
The tablets are also reportedly available in candy-like flavors, raising additional concerns about potential exposure to children.<\/p>\n
Warning signs of an overdose include extreme drowsiness, slowed breathing, and blue lips. Anyone experiencing these symptoms should receive immediate emergency medical attention.<\/p>\n
Harmonious Hearts is urging residents to exercise caution and keep these products away from children. The organization also encourages residents to carry Narcan, a medication used to reverse opioid overdoses, and to call 911 in an emergency.<\/p>\n
