It is reported to be more potent than morphine. Fentanyl can be used legally as prescribed to treat post surgery pain or for those who are tolerant to opioids. Fentanyl is considered a synthetic drug because it is man made in laboratories. It does not rely on the opium poppy for production. It is derived from an organic compound called Piperidine. The basic molecules in Fentynal can be manipulated to create different potencies. When used illicitly, Fentanyl is deadly as there is no regulation. Whether used legally or not, Fentynal is highly addictive. ]]> 2019-02-17 20:24:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahwallace1990/onlige67d2j1/wish/332161061 sarahwallace1990 https://padlet.com/sarahwallace1990/onlige67d2j1/wish/332164817 Impact on the body: Fentanyl causes respiratory depression, decreases heart rate and blood pressure, causes constipation, nausea, dizziness, delirium, vomiting, blurred vision, and cardiac and respiratory arrest.

From 2007-2017 there was a 12.9% increase. It is estimated that 10% of people that are prescribed opiates become addicted. It is difficult to calculate as some do not know if Fentanyl is contained in certain batches of illicit drugs. In 2008, more than 20,179 people were treated in the ER due to Fentanyl.]]> 2019-02-17 21:14:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahwallace1990/onlige67d2j1/wish/332167580
