Identifying The Types Of Fentanyl
Pharmaceutical fentanyl prescribed by a healthcare provider is the original legal substance that can be administered in various ways to treat chronic pain.
It can be administered as a patch, tablet, candy, or shot, with the dosage carefully regulated within the prescription for a recommended short period.
On the other hand, fentanyl that has been illegally manufactured can appear in the form of powder, a liquid within nasal sprays, eye drops, blotted on paper, or candy. It is often produced to imitate prescribed opioids in the form of a pill.
More alarming is that illegal manufacturers of fentanyl tend to combine the substance with other potent drugs such as cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, or MDMA to maximize their profits.
They know that it only takes a very small amount of fentanyl to achieve a high, so mixing it with other drugs is cheaper for them to produce with a massive return, and they have no concern regarding the devastating impact these combinations can have.
