Dr. Katherine Pannel- Fentanyl Testing Strips

A bill that would remove fentanyl test strips from being considered paraphernalia has passed in both chambers of the Mississippi legislature.

Dr. Katherine Pannel, who serves as medical director at Right Track Medical Group, explained that the passing of the bill will help Mississippians get easier access to the test strips.

“You can continue to get them on Amazon or other places, but what this does now is allow Mississippi to get federal funding for these test strips so they’ll be free to the public,” Pannel said. “They’ll be found in community-based health centers like health departments and other health systems. People can actually go and access them, learn how to use them properly, and while they’re there, get other resources for substance abuse treatment.”
