But only temporarily.

Giving is more time to consider the case, hunting a decision from tonight until midnight on Friday.

The ruling today ends stay on a lower court decision that would have put -- maintains the FDA approval while the legal case plays out.

The White House is labeling Zaila seen a threat to the nation.

It is also known as trank.

It is often mixed with opioids, used as a low-cost Fentanyl.

The U.S. drug enforcement agency issued an alert warning about a sharp increase of Zaila and all mixed with Fentanyl.

It will soon be classified as a schedule three controlled substance and nearby Pennsylvania.

A doctor says there is still little known about exactly how it affects humans and he joins me now.

Talk to me about what you are seeing in terms of use of this drug and what is happening folks who are unaware that it is being cut into other drugs.

>> It is an important issue.

Xylazine is an additive, something that is used as a cutting agent, to add all to the drug supply.

Fentanyl, a drug that most people are trying to seek, is nearly invisible in the amount we want to is.

Which means it has to be added to something to give it half, to make it visible.

That could be many things, increasingly they are adding xylazine as a base.

Other products are in active.

Xylazine has activity, it is used as an animal sedative, it has never been approved for human use.

It said dates you, animals, humans, when we take it into our bodies, it adds to the effect of the oil.

-- opioid.

>> Is it possible to overdose on it?

>> There have been cases, I have managed people who have overdosed on xylazine.

It was only something you would get from a veterinarian's office.

It is not likely to kill you independently.

It is a good set of active, it does produce a depth of respiratory -- but combined with an opioid, it can increase the effect in a way of both, leading to a chance that you will overdose more intensely.

Independently, it is not a drug we have to be concerned about.

>> Doesn't overdose reversal agent like Naloxone still work?

Is there a different affect?

>> It is a tricky question.

Naloxone should not reverse xylazine.

It will reverse the opioid.

If you took xylazine plus and opioid, and you were not breathing, and you take no oxen, it will work.

You have to find what work means, it means make you breathe, it does not mean wake you up.

He will probably not wake up because you have reversed the opioid you have not touched the xylazine, and opioid.

We don't need people to wake up after they get Naloxone, we need them to read.

If that happens, that's a great and point.

It allows people to get to a hospital where we can manage it and get them to agree to go to treatment.
