Fentanyl Facts

Fentanyl is a potent synthetic opioid that is very effective at relieving moderate-to-severe chronic pain.
Oral formulations of fentanyl contain an amount of the drug that can be fatal to a child.
The difference between a therapeutic dose and a deadly dose of fentanyl is very small.
There are many illegal analogs and derivatives of fentanyl that are much stronger than the prescription version.
Recreational users often seek fentanyl as a substitute for heroin.
Increasingly, many illegal drugs now contain fentanyl to ‘increase the strength’ of the drug sold.
The problem: A few extra grains of fentanyl can cause death.
