This November, high-strength MDMA pills branded as “Zeus” have been found circulating in various parts of the UK. Tested by The Loop, these pills contain 250-315 mg of MDMA – 2-3 times the typical adult dose. This heightened potency greatly increases the risk of serious health issues, including hospitalization or even fatalities.
What to Know:

- Strength: Estimated 250-315 mg per pill.

- Stay Hydrated: Drink water steadily, about one small bottle per hour – but don’t overdo it.
- Rest & Cool Down: Take breaks from dancing to avoid overheating.
- Know the Signs: If anyone experiences symptoms like excessive sweating, overheating, muscle stiffness, or becomes unresponsive, get medical help immediately.
