Among the overdoses was a 17-year-old boy who remains in The Alfred Hospital in a serious condition.
It's also being investigated whether the same batch of drugs is linked to the death of a 30-year-old Elwood man who overdosed on MDMA on Friday night.
Police say it will take some time before they know if it was the ecstasy's potency or something it was cut with that caused the overdoses.
