Methoxetamine (MXE), a novel psychoactive substance, was found in eight fatalities in the UK between 2011 and 2013. The median age at death was 27 years; most decedents were White and male. MXE was directly implicated in four deaths and likely contributed to two others, and in seven of eight cases it was used alongside other substances. The report calls for more research into MXE's health effects and toxicity, and for healthcare professionals to be aware of its harms to develop early interventions and reduce poisonings and deaths.
