Understanding Fentanyl: A Potent and Deadly Opioid
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine. Originally developed for medical use to manage severe pain—particularly in advanced cancer patients—this highly potent drug has become a major driver of the opioid crisis due to illicit production and widespread misuse.
What makes fentanyl especially dangerous is its extreme potency. Even a tiny amount can lead to overdose or death, and its addictive nature makes quitting without professional help incredibly difficult. Many illicit drugs, such as heroin or cocaine, are unknowingly laced with fentanyl, dramatically increasing the risk of fatal overdose.
