Synthetic opioid > Fentanyl
Fentanyl is a
synthetic opioid,
prescribed to help
patients
deal with severe pain.
Opioids help to
reduce patients’
perception of their suffering
and can induce a
state
of extreme relaxation and euphoria.

Fentanyl is a
synthetic opioid
30-50 times more
potent than heroin
and 50-100 times
more potent than morphine,
according to
the
Drug Enforcement Administration.
Two milligrams is
enough
to be a lethal dose
for most people,
the agency says.
