Hello
Fentanyl is a synthetic opiate drug and it is a powerful painkiller and tranquillizer.
It is a very potent analgesic and it is approximately 80 to 100 times more potent than morphine.
You might had been prescribed for better response.It is also widely used in anesthesia.
It has rapid onset and short duration of action.
Some patients may have diarrhea,nausea,constipation,dry mouth etc.
Get well soon.
Take Care
