Coroner Joe McCrisken spoke to Belfast Live and said the benzodiazepines that are cropping up in more drugs-related deaths are a worrying sign.
One of Northern Ireland's coroners had warned of the deadly impact that "designer benzos" are having on drug users in Northern Ireland.
"If you take as a comparison those ones that people might be aware of, like diazepam or Valium, those are benzodiazepines that are able to be prescribed by your GP. "Some of them are between five to 10 times stronger than diazepam, and some can last up to three weeks." "In the last set of figures, over 50% of deaths resulted from the use or abuse of three or more drugs."With heroin, there's been a rollout of the naloxone program where naloxone can be given.
"Over the last 12 months, the average age of someone who has died from drug misuse or abuse is 41 and the group that are most at risk are those between 25 and 36.
