A warning has been issued over harmful pills causing "adverse effects".
Cumbria Police said it had received reports of red and white pills, believed to be pregabalin - a drug for epilepsy and anxiety - and blue pills of an "unknown substance" being taken illegally.
The force said the batch had been circulating in Carlisle and Wigton.
A spokesman said: "Police would ask anyone who is aware of someone using such pills outside of a prescription to make them aware of this warning and the risks."
