Just Fentanyl itself - the rest is a gel suspension that allows for timed release of the patch dosage.

Can you shoot up non gel Fentanyl?
can u shoot up non gel fentanyl patches
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!
Do Fentanyl patches contain caffeine?
No - they only contain Fentanyl in a transdermal release suspension gel.
Can you cut Fentanyl patches?
Absolutely not. It will cause the med to absorb to quickly and may cause death.
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.

I was wondering why someone would cut open a Fentanyl patch and rub the gel on their gums?
to get high if you cut it open and lick it or rub it on your mouth its absorbed right away the patch is time release through the patch eight to twelve hrs so if some one is doing this its probably to get high
Why would your hair harden if you put gel in it?
Because the gel hardens and dries out, leaving tough patches in your hair.
I am a caregiver and change out Fentanyl patches every 3 days and want to know if the used patch will affect me when I handle it with my hands?
It depends - if you're just removing it by the edges, you're not going to get any real contact with the gel. If the patch is cut and you come into contact with it, that's a different story, but if you wash it off quickly, you'll likely not have any problems with it. The contact issue only affects non-users if the gel comes into contact with the skin, since the gel itself contains a concentrated amount of Fentanyl within it. Used patches approaching the 72 hour mark (I used to change mine at around 68 when I was on a 3 day dose, 44 when I changed to 2 days) are already pretty depleted of the gel, but it's still good to take precautions when handling used ones. For the newer non-gel patches, you'd need to have skin contact for at least a few minutes to get any real exposure, as the dosage delivery is generated by body heat. Even so, with or without gel I'd recommend using either your fingernails or a pair of tweezers to remove the patches by the edges, then fold it in half per the patch literature and dispose of it, you're pretty much covering yourself from exposure. The best option if you're removing old patches is to just use nitrile gloves - you can't use them for applying patches, but you can use them to remove and dispose of them. Just grab the edge, pull it off, fold it and dispose, or if just one, hold it in your gloved hand then pull the glove off over it and dispose.
How do you know if a Fentanyl patch has gel in it?
It's usually pretty obvious; once the gel is depleted, the gel reservoir becomes flat and wrinkly. If you press your finger on one edge and smooth it out to the other end, you'll see how much, if any, is left.
