Fentanyl Citrate

Fentanyl citrate is a powerful synthetic opioid, much stronger than morphine, used medically for severe pain (like cancer pain or post-surgery) and as an anesthetic, acting rapidly by binding to opioid receptors in the brain to block pain signals. Available in injections, patches, and buccal tablets, it's a Schedule II controlled substance known for intense analgesia and sedation but carries significant risks, including respiratory depression, addiction, and dependence, requiring careful dosing and monitoring, especially with other CNS depressants
