Fentanyl Powder

Crucial information

People who are allergic to Fentanyl or other opioid drugs should not use Fentanyl.

It is crucial that a doctor monitors a patient taking Fentanyl carefully to determine if it is working well and if the patient should continue receiving the drug.

Patients should notify the doctor immediately they notice bluish skin or lips, chest pains, difficulty in breathing, irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, or muscle stiffness after taking Fentanyl.

Note that misuse of this drug can lead to addiction, overdose, or even death especially to kids or other people using it without a prescription.

Other drugs can interact with Fentanyl and result in a severe condition known as serotonin syndrome. Ensure that your doctor is aware in case you are taking medicine for mental illness, depression, migraine headaches, Parkinson’s disease, and other dangerous conditions.

Patients should consult with their doctor if they want to make any changes in when or how they take Fentanyl.

To ensure Fentanyl is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:

• Any breathing condition or lung disease
• A history of brain tumor or head injury
• Slow heartbeats
• Used an MAO inhibitor

No studies that have shown Fentanyl can harm an unborn baby. However, using Fentanyl while pregnant can make the baby to be dependent on the medication. This can result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the baby after birth. Such babies might need exceptional medical care for several weeks after birth. Women who are pregnant or planning to be pregnant should notify their doctor.
