How strong is the 50mcg Fentanyl patch?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Fentanyl is very strong and extremely dangerous. A patch contains 3 day's worth of medication, so if you open up the patch, you may soon be DEAD. I know this because the liquid from a single 75 MCG/hr Fentanyl patch KILLED MY BELOVED DAUGHTER on the first of June, 2011. One single patch contains A LETHAL DOSE of narcotic medicine. Please NEVER fool around with a Fentany patch. Please do not make another father cry every day, thinking of his daughter and wanting her back.

Answer 3

Considering Fentanyl is a epidermal patch, which releases a dose of Fentanyl over a 72 hour period. in comparison HydroMorphone (Diluadid) is more potent, depending on which route you use(IV,oral,IM,intranasal). so in contrast 25mcg of Fentanyl is not very strong,(Compared to Diluadid). AND I"M ONLY 18 AND I KNOW THIS FROM EXPERIENCE!!!!

Answer 4

Fentanyl doesn't come in Milligram doses; they come in Microgram doses. For example, the lowest dose is 12.5 micrograms, the highest is 100 micrograms.

2.1milligrams of Fentanyl is equivalent to 2100 micrograms, which is of course a fatal dose for humans.

Answer 5

A 50mcg (patch dosages are in Micrograms, not Milligrams) fentanyl patch is equivalent to approximately 200 mg/day of oral morphine.
