Fentanyl Analogues

Fentanyl analogues are synthetic drugs chemically similar to fentanyl, a powerful opioid painkiller. They are often created to mimic fentanyl’s effects but can vary significantly in potency, sometimes being many times stronger. These substances are frequently manufactured illegally and sold on the black market, often mixed with other drugs, increasing the risk of overdose and death. Due to their high potency, even small amounts can be lethal. Understanding their dangers is crucial, as they contribute to the rising opioid overdose crisis globally.
