Fentanyl

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid drug that is used as a pain medication and anesthetic. It is about 100 times more potent than morphine, making it a highly effective pain reliever for patients who have developed a tolerance to other opioids. However, its potency also makes it a highly dangerous and addictive drug, and it is often used illegally. Fentanyl can be taken in a variety of forms, including pills, patches, and injections. Overdoses of fentanyl can be life-threatening and can lead to slowed breathing, loss of consciousness, and even death.
