Fentanyl

Overview

Basic Info

SummaryFentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is highly effective in the management of severe pain, especially in cancer patients. It exerts its analgesic effects by binding to opioid receptors in the central nervous system. Fentanyl is available in various formulations, including transdermal patches, lozenges, and injectable solutions. However, due to its potency, fentanyl carries a high risk of addiction, respiratory depression, and overdose. As a result, it is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance in the United States. Ongoing research is focused on developing safer and more effective delivery methods for fentanyl, such as abuse-deterrent formulations and novel routes of administration.
