Fentanyl is an extremely potent opioid similar to heroin. In fact, fentanyl powder is often sold as china white heroin.

The gel inside some fentanyl patches can be easily abused. One common route is to administer it sublingually or buccally by rubbing it on the gums. It can also be smoked like heroin off of foil.

This can be incredibly dangerous because of it's extreme potency and there have been many deaths recently caused by fentanyl use. Many people are using fentanyl intentionally, but many heroin users are being sold heroin cut with fentanyl or fentanyl passed off as heroin and overdosing because of it's potency.

No. This can cause a potentially lethal overdose. Venlafaxine is a cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitor which is the enzyme which metabolizes fentanyl. Levels of fentanyl can reach lethal doses as a result of this combination.


Is Fentanyl 100mcg hr patch similar to oxycotin 80 mg pill?

According to a well known conversion table on globalrph.com the conversion is 80mg oxycontin is equal to 41mcg of Fentanyl so you would need 2-80mg oxycotin-er and 1-20mg oxycotin- 2-80mg Oxycontin=82mcg of Fentanyl 1-20mg Oxycontin=20mcg of Fentanyl


What is Fentanyl 25mcg per hour?

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.


Is it possible for fentanayl to still be in your system nineteen days after surgery?

Absolutely not, unless you are using a Fentanyl patch, such as Duragesic or another brand name for the opiod-based transdermal pain delivery system , in which case, the Fentanyl will remain in your system, as provided by the patch, until about three to five days after you remove the last patch. There is no way for a urine drug test to determine whether the Fentanyl (opiod narcotic) it is detecting is that which was used to relieve your pain in surgery (or what was given to you by the anesthesiologist while you were asleep) or that which is entering your system now from the pain patch, except to say that at nineteen days "post op" nothing given to you in the operating room will still be in your system, so it would have to be something like a pain patch, unless perhaps you were given an injection of Fentanyl into your spinal area, such as an intrathecal injection, meant to linger there in that area and absorb over a period of many days and provide longer term pain relief, but you would certainly have been told and have had to approve a procedure of that sort and would therefore be aware that it was given to you prior to leaving the hospital/surgi-center as a longer-term pain reliever. In that case, a test would identify the Fentanyl in your system at likely many days (not sure how many, it would depend on the dosage and how long the medication was intended to linger there). Hope that helps out.

How much fentanyl would be lethal -?

2 mg The previous answer is incorrect. Fentanyl can be fatal in doses less than a milligram, and is usually measured and dispensed on the microgram scale. Depending on opiate tolerance and body mass, fentanyl can cause respiratory depression on a wide scale of doses. For this reason, it is an extremely dangerous drug, and is restricted to hospital use in sedation and pain management, and in rare outpatient circumstances where patients have become too opiate competent/tolerant, and require fentanyl, usually delivered as a lozenge, such as Actiq, or in a patch, such as Duragesic.
