The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) is warning the public against the misuse of Etomidate, a short-acting intravenous anesthetic, following the local seizures of va**ng products containing the substance.

Etomidate is a legitimate medical anesthetic used in hospitals to induce general anesthesia. However, its use outside medical supervision can pose serious health risks, including rapid sedation, hypnosis, loss of consciousness, involuntary muscle movements, and potentially dangerous respiratory and cardiovascular effects.

Aside from being detected in illicit va**ng products, the anesthetic has also been found in other forms, including tablets, powders, and crystals.

“Etomidate is a powerful medical drug, not a recreational substance. Putting it into v**e products creates serious and unpredictable risks, particularly for young people who may not know what they are inhaling,” said PDEA Director General Undersecretary Isagani R Nerez.

Illicit etomidate-containing va**ng products have reportedly been marketed using street names such as “space oil,” “zombie v**es,” and “Kpods.” Several jurisdictions in the region, including Singapore, Thailand, China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, have implemented control measures in response to the non-medical use of the anesthetic.

“A v**e cartridge may look harmless, but its contents may be anything. We urge the public: do not experiment, do not share, and do not assume that a product is safe simply because it looks like a regular v**e. If you encounter a suspicious product, report it to the proper authorities,” DG Nerez added.

PDEA will continue to coordinate with relevant government and law enforcement agencies and monitor developments involving etomidate and other emerging psychoactive substances. The Agency likewise urges the public to seek immediate medical attention if a person develops unusual or severe symptoms after using an unidentified or suspected drug-containing va**ng product.
