<h1 class="big-heading">What is Fentanyl?</h1> | ||
<p> | ||
|
||
Fentanyl is a potent synthetic opioid primarily used as an analgesic, meaning it's used to relieve pain. It's 50 | ||
times stronger than than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. It's primarily used to help manage pain | ||
for cancer patients and those recovering from surgeries. | ||
|
||
<br><br> | ||
|
||
Fentanyl works by activating μ-opioid receptors in the brain. By binding to these receptors, pain | ||
signals are blocked on their way to the brain. This results in reduced pain sensitivity and various effects such | ||
as feelings of happiness or euphoria, drowsiness, nausea and confusion. | ||
|
||
<br><br> | ||
|
||
Here's what a lethal dose of fentanyl (2 milligrams) looks like when compared to a penny: | ||

Fentanyl is a prescription drug, but it is also made and used illegally. Illegally made fentanyl is often mixed | ||
with other drugs, such as heroin, cocaine, or methamphetamine, to increase their potency. This is dangerous | ||
because fentanyl is so potent that even a small amount can cause an overdose. Fentanyl is a controlled substance | ||
in the United States, meaning it is illegal to use or possess without a prescription. | ||
|
||
<br><br> | ||
|
||
Common side effects of fentanyl include headache, dizziness, drowsiness, pale skin, feeling weak or tired, | ||
constipation, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, insomnia, swelling in hands or feet, increased | ||
sweating, cold feeling, itching, redness, or rash where a patch was worn. | ||
|
||
<br><br> | ||
|
||
More serious side effects can occur which include low blood pressure, hallucinations, delirium, | ||
breathing difficulties, loss of consciousness and overdose. | ||

|
||
If you or someone you know uses fentanyl, you should know that misuse can be successfully managed with | ||
treatments such as medication, counseling and behavioral therapies. It's important to seek help from healthcare | ||
professionals if you suspect misuse or addiction. | ||
