Fentanyl - is a synthetic primary opioid receptor agonist. It is approximately 100 times more potent than Morphine, with 100 micrograms of fentanyl approximately equivalent to 10 mg of morphine and 75 mg of Pethidine (meperidine) in analgesic activity.
Hydromorphone, a more common synonym for dihydromorphinone and dimorphone, commonly a hydrochloride (trade names Palladone, Palladone SR, Dilaudid and numerous others) is a potent centrally-acting Analgesic Medication of the Opioid class. It is a derivative of Morphine, specifically a Hydrogenated Ketone thereof and therefore a semi-synthetic drug. It is both medically an Opioid analgesic and legally a Narcotic. It is 8 times more potent than Morphine.
