Is 90 mg of Morphine every day a stronger dose then Fentynl Patch 25mg hr?
The Fentanyl patches by over twice the margin.120mg of oral morphine every 8 hours is equal to 360mg per day of oral morphine (24hr period). The Fentanyl patch equivalent dose (Duragesic for comparison purposes) is a single 100mcg Fentanyl patch.
How strong is the 50mcg Fentanyl patch?
strong enought that if your arent opiate tolerant that the lowest dose of the patch will make you overdose, dont be stupid, when it says for opiate tollerent patients only it really facking means it.
What will happen if you apply Fentanyl gel from a patch to skin?
It depends on the person and the amount of gel involved. If you're extremely tolerant to Fentanyl, you won't be affected as quickly, but for most people, respiratory / cardiac arrest and death are the most common results. It's slower than Cyanide, but the end result is the same. Fentanyl patches are designed to deliver a continuous, small dose over a period of 2-3 days. By removing the gel and applying it directly to the skin, the person is bypassing the timed-release component. Most people, high dose Fentanyl users as well, aren't capable of handling that high a dose at one time.
What is the dosage for Fentanyl patches?
Patches come in 5 dosages: 12.5 mcg (micrograms) 25 mcg 50 mcg 75 mcg 100 mcg Patient dosages are prescribed as a single patch dose, or if needed, a combination of doses to get the desired result. For example, my primary dose is 100mcg, but I've had to increase to 150 and 200mcg as necessary over the years. I once met a lady who had a brother that was a former cancer patient (he's since passed away) that was using 6 100mcg patches.
Will Fentanyl show up in a blood test?
If it is specifically tested for, then Fentanyl will show up on a lab test. But they have to request for your urine to be tested for Fentanyl. On any 9 panel or 12 panel, no it doesn't show up.
What medicine is prescribed along with Fentanyl patches for breakthrough pain?
Almost all over-the-counter pain medications can be taken with fentanyl. Example: Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Aleve, Advil, Naproxen, and Aspirin all have no interactions with fentanyl. On a side note, fentanyle should never be taken in combination with any MAO Inhibitors.
When on life support from heroin over dose will one come back?
my best friend didn't.
What is equivalent to a Fentanyl patch?
When used IV, they often start with 50 MICROGRAMS of Fentanyl for pain. If needed, they go up to 100 MICROGRAMS. In contrast if they are using morphine they give 1 MILLIGRAM then go up to 2 MILLIGRAMS. 1 MG = 1000 MICROGRAMS. So doing the math, the fentanyl is 20 times more potent (50 x 20 = 1000) The main difference is fentanyl wears off in an hour whereas the morphine will last 2-4 hours. Fentanyl is used in anesthesia, for pain pumps and epidurals where you need fine control. If you overdose with Fentanyl a single dose of NARCAN to reverse usually is all you need as the Narcan lasts longer than the fentanyl. If you over dose with Morphine you might needed repeated shots of the Narcan because the Morphine lasts longer than Narcan. The biggest danger of fentanyl is powdered fentanyl can be quickly absorbed thru the lungs or skin.
What is a prefix for dose?

Is Fentanyl an anesthetic medication?
Fentanyl originally was developed as an anesthetic, and is still widely used today for surgical procedures where the patient needs to be conscious (relatively) and able to respond to commands (e.g., bronchoscopy). Fentanyl is 100 times more potent than morphine (100 micrograms of Fentanyl is equivalent to 10mg's of Morphine). Fentanyl patches (Duragesic, e.g.) use concentrated doses of Fentanyl delivered to the bloodstream transdermally over extended periods, which make them ideal for long term chronic pain patients.
Has anyone ever overdosed from shooting up the gel from a Fentanyl patch?
Yes, plenty of people have overdosed and even died from shooting up Fentanyl patches, both the gel containing patches and gel-less patches. The amount of Fentanyl in patches contains several days worth of Fentanyl, depending on the strength of the patch and a persons tolerance the total amount of Fentanyl can kill even the most tolerant of people several times over. Proceed with extreme caution when venturing into the IV injecting of Fentanyl patches!
