Medical Disclaimer

The information presented on this website is intended for informational purposes only and should not be construed as medical advice. While Dr. Weinstock is a qualified physician, it’s essential to understand that she is not your personal healthcare provider.

We advocate for the life-saving potential of tools such as fentanyl test strips and naloxone. However, it’s crucial to note that BirdieLight is not the manufacturer of these tools. BirdieLight makes no representations regarding the absolute accuracy of these tools. Users should be aware that no tool can guarantee 100% accuracy at all times. Reliance on these tools is strictly at the user’s discretion and risk.

While fentanyl test strips can be effective in detecting the presence of fentanyl in illegal substances, it’s important to recognize that their sensitivity ranges from 92% to 96%. Users are encouraged to practice harm reduction strategies, such as never using substances alone and ensuring that a trusted friend is informed about their activities. Additionally, it’s advised that the friend has access to naloxone (Narcan) in case of emergencies.

By accessing and using this website, you agree to abide by these terms and acknowledge the limitations and risks associated with the information and tools provided.
