Fentanyl is an opioid analgesic used to treat severe pain. It is a synthetic opioid, meaning it is created in a laboratory, and is approximately 100 times more potent than morphine. Fentanyl is available in a variety of forms, including tablets, patches, lozenges, and injections. It is often prescribed for patients who have developed a tolerance to other opioids, or for those who are in need of rapid pain relief. Fentanyl is also used in palliative care, to help manage pain in terminally ill patients. Fentanyl is a highly regulated drug, and is only available with a prescription. It is also subject to abuse, and is often diverted for illicit use. As a result, the fentanyl market is closely monitored by government agencies. Companies in the fentanyl market include Actavis, Mylan, and Sandoz. Show Less Read more
