	Drug-checking services allow for laboratory testing of substances to allow people who use drugs to confirm what substances are present in the drugs they are purchasing and taking. In addition, they often publish results and post alerts when there are potentially concerning drugs circulating in a city or region. For example, many services will post alerts if there are highly dosed ecstasy tablets or drugs containing dangerous adulterants, such as xylazine or fentanyl, found in their service area. Because of this, it is a good idea to follow their updates even if you are not using their services yourself.
