What is Fentanyl 25mcg per hour?

Answer 1

This refers to a Fentanyl Transdermal patch, which is commonly used for chronic pain patients like myself that need continuous long-term opiate therapy. It is regulated by body heat, and is extremely effective.

There are several doses - 12.5, 25, 50, 75 and 100mcg patches, all of which can be used with one another to make specific dosages. For example, though my normal dose is 100mcg, I typically have to use 200mcg, so I'll use 2 100mcg patches.

Answer 3

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid pain medication. Opioids are often referred to as narcotics and morphine and oxycodone are two of the best known drugs of this type. While some of these medications are derrived from opium poppies, others like fentanyl are entirely synthetic (man-made). Fentanyl is among the strongest opioids being approximately 80 times the strength of an equal dose of morphine. For this reason, its therapeutic dosage is generally measured in micrograms (denoted as ug or mcg). So, fentanyl 100 mcg is a particular dosage of fentanyl. However, I think it's likely the question may be referring to a particular preparation of this medication, most likely the fentanyl patch. The fentanyl patch is used to administer around-the-clock delivery of fentanyl which is released through the patch and absorbed by the skin. It comes in various strengths from 12mcg-100mcg. The dosage size refers to the amount of fentanyl delivered each hour. So, the 100 mcg patch would deliver 100 mcg of fentanyl each hour. Each patch lasts for 72 hours. Fentanyl patches are very strong and intended for use by patients who are already on some type of opioid medication. If an opioid-naive person (someone who does not take opioid medication regularly) used a fentanyl patch of any strength, they could very easily suffer an over-dose and, without rapid medical intervention, die. Fentanyl should only be used with a prescription from, and under the medical supervision of a medical doctor.
