Abstract: Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid used as a medicine to relieve chronic pain, such as advanced stage cancer, or complementary in anesthesia of surgical procedures, and may be general or local anesthesia. This synthetic opioid has a great potency, and can be 50 times more potent than heroin and 100 times more than morphine. However, fentanyl has become illegally used as a recreational drug by lay people, who do not know the danger they are running. Thus, the recreational use of this substance is extremely dangerous, because it can be mixed with other drugs, such as cocaine and heroin, thus increasing the risks of adverse effects such as dependence, overdose, respiratory arrest or even death.
