Kamini Use in Canada
An emerging substance of concern identified in Alberta: a herbal product that can carry opium-derived opioids, dependence and lead toxicity.
Key messages
Kamini can represent an opioid exposure, not simply an “herbal” remedy.
Dependence and clinically significant withdrawal are documented.
Lead toxicity is an additional concern in compatible presentations.
Ask about it specifically, treat the opioid use disorder and improve surveillance.
