Ivory Wave, also known as Ivory Coast, Ivory Snow,[1] Red Dove,[1] Purple Wave, White Height Chaser [2] and Vanilla Sky, is a name applied to a recreational drug reported to be used in the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States of America.[3][4][5] The constituent chemicals of the drug have not been consistently identified.

History

In the UK it has been reported to cost £11 for 200 mg, £18 for 500 mg and £17,000 for 1 kg.[6]

The substance is often described as bath salts.[1]

Pharmacology

Samples of the drug have been reported to contain the substituted cathinone derivative MDPV as well as the local anesthetic lignocaine.[7] Additionally, Ivory Wave has also been speculated to contain WIN 35,428 and Pentylone,[8][9][10][11] though the presence of these chemicals has yet to be demonstrated.

Adverse effects

The drug has been reported to cause adverse effects similar to those experienced with other amphetamine-like drugs, including heart and circulatory problems as well as agitation, hallucinations and fits. Hyperthermia, renal failure, and alterations in blood pressure may also occur.[12]
