Warning over unlicensed drug

A new warning has been issued by Scots health experts after it emerged that an unlicensed Russian drug, known as Bonsai Supersleep, left five young users in hospital.

NHS experts have discovered that the drug taken by the teenagers, who needed treatment at Borders General Hospital after taking it earlier this month, was the anxiety drug phenazepam.
