DEA One Pill Can Kill Social Media Campaign

#ONEPILLCANKILL

One Pill Can Kill Social Media Campaign

The Drug Enforcement Administration has issued a Public Safety Alert warning Americans of the alarming increase in the lethality and availability of fake prescription pills containing fentanyl and methamphetamine.  The Public Safety Alert coincides with the launch of DEA’s One Pill Can Kill Public Awareness Campaign to educate the public of the dangers of counterfeit pills and urges all Americans to take only medications prescribed by a medical professional and dispensed by a licensed pharmacist. 

We created this digital social media campaign to encourage the use of social media to help raise public awareness of a significant nationwide surge in fake pills that are mass-produced by criminal drug networks in labs, deceptively marketed as legitimate prescription pills, and are killing unsuspecting Americans at an unprecedented rate.

Help us increase awareness of the dangers of counterfeit pills by retweeting/sharing posts from @DEAHQ and our DEA Field Division Twitter accounts.  You can also create your own social media posts by simply using any or all of the sample posts and graphics included in this campaign.

DEA One Pill Can Kill Public Safety Alert and Awareness Campaign

This PSA can be distributed publicly on your webpage, social media feeds,
to media outlets in your area, and in other places to increase awareness of the dangers of fake pills.
