The world famous South London Club Ministry of Sound warned his customers ‘Safe Safe’ last week, just a few days after the dead during the holiday weekend.
The pills that the users took during the weekend had the number 80 on the one hand and possibly a ‘on’ on the other, said Ealing Council.
The cause of the nightclub in East London has taken over its Instagram account to claim that there had been ‘different hospital admissions at several London locations’ associated with the pills.
MailOnline has approached the London Ambulance Service (LAS) to verify this statement.
The with Police is also contacted for comment.
A spokesperson for the Ealing Council told people to prevent them from even having to take the pills in small quantities and that people who are considering consume they are not allowed to do this themselves.
Users must also think about wearing Naloxon – an opioid overdose antidote.
Nitazes were first made in the 1950s as opioid painkillers, but were never approved for medical use. Their existence was forgotten for 70 years.
Most substances tested by wedinos, the only national drug control service in the UK, claimed to be legal products, although they were all purchased illegally

Subsequently, after the withdrawal of Great -Britain and America from Afghanistan – and the subsequent prohibition of the Taliban’s subsequent drugs – they again emerged as a way to reinforce heroin with low purity in the event that Opium delivers.
Experts are united in their fear of the rising risk of nitazes. Although heroin users are still vulnerable, young people who buy traditional legal drugs, such as Valium and Xanax, are because coping mechanisms are also in danger.
In fact, MailOnline analysis of data from the only drug test facility wedinos of the UK has shown that two-thirds of the samples that Nitazes contained would be legal medicines that could be legally purchased.
Two -thirds of that total was purchased by people who were planning to buy Valium (Diazepam).
Until now, the number of deaths in nitazen is only at 458 in the past two years, until 13 April.
However, there was an increase of 166 percent compared to 2023 (125 deaths) to 2024 (333 deaths) – more than double in a single year, and even that total is expected to rise as soon as toxicology and forensic tests improve and is completed.
Steve Rolles, a senior policy analyst at the Transform Drug Policy Foundation, said MailOnline: ‘The number of deaths is rising at an alarming pace. It is the tip of the iceberg.
‘What happened in the US should be a warning for policy makers in the UK. We can be on our way to an oversight of American style. We are talking about thousands or tens of thousands of dying.
Tens of thousands of British run the risk of extremely powerful medicines called Nitazes. Synthetic medicines have already kept many British on the street (depicted). Although there is no way to know immediately whether a person has nitazenes in his systems, the effects of other synthetic drugs such as fentanyl and cannabinoids are comparable

‘All indications are that is what happens. I am very wary of scaremunning about drugs, but I am deeply worried about the potential massacre that opioids could do in the UK.
‘We already have the highest overdose percentage in Europe. Nitazes can make it much worse.
“This is a very serious emergency for public health that is not taken seriously enough.”
He added: ‘I’m scared. There is almost one person who dies of nitazes every day and most people have not even heard of it.
‘If it was something else, there would be national panic. The government did not understand the urgency of this. ‘
Rolles starts to see heroin mixed with nitazes in the streets of Great Britain.
He said, ‘It seems that it gets more [prevalent] While the heroin supply dries up. ‘
