There was an increase in the opioid prescriptions. I'm not 100% sure if it's fentanyl, morphine, or hydromorphone. Personally, in my practice, I have not seen an increase of fentanyl being dispensed, but I can say from talking to law enforcement that we're seeing an increase in synthetic fentanyl from outside of the country. That's primarily where it's coming from.
