A clubber is critically ill and four others were hospitalised after taking a "bad batch" of drugs, said police.
All five went to the Rainbow in Digbeth on New Year's Eve or New Year's Day.
Police believe pills were distributed inside the club by a woman and two men, one of whom may have been wearing a fluorescent jacket.
Two men are in hospital where one is fighting for his life and the other is stable. Two other men and a woman were treated and are recovering at home.
