If i take off my 25mcg Fentanyl patch 36 hours before the urine test will it still show up in the urine test that i take tomorrow?

Yes, it is possible that the Fentanyl from your 25mcg patch could still be detectable in your urine even after 36 hours. Fentanyl can remain in the body for a period of time, and its metabolites may be present in urine tests for several days after use, depending on various factors such as metabolism and frequency of use. For a definitive answer, it's best to consult a medical professional or a toxicology expert.

What happens if you take a Fentanyl 100mg 1mg Dilaudid and 30 mg nitrazepam in elderly patient?

Administering a combination of 100 mg of Fentanyl, 1 mg of Dilaudid (hydromorphone), and 30 mg of nitrazepam in an elderly patient poses a significant risk of severe respiratory depression, sedation, and potential overdose. The elderly are more sensitive to the effects of these medications due to age-related physiological changes and potential comorbidities. This combination can lead to life-threatening complications, including decreased consciousness and impaired respiratory function, necessitating immediate medical attention. It is crucial to approach such potent opioids and benzodiazepines with caution, particularly in vulnerable populations.

What medications contain Fentanyl?

Fentanyl is found in various medications, including transdermal patches (like Duragesic), injectable formulations (such as Sublimaze), and lozenges (like Actiq). It is also available in combination with other medications for pain management, such as in the oral film formulation Subsys. These medications are typically prescribed for treating severe pain, particularly in patients with chronic pain or those undergoing surgery. Due to its potency, fentanyl should only be used under strict medical supervision.

How long does Fentanyl stay in your system when smoked?

Fentanyl can typically be detected in the body for varying lengths of time depending on several factors, including the user's metabolism, frequency of use, and the specific testing method employed. When smoked, fentanyl may remain in the bloodstream for a few hours, but it can be detected in urine for 1 to 3 days after use. In hair follicles, it can be detected for much longer, potentially up to 90 days. It's important to note that individual responses can vary significantly.

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.

What happens when you chew lidocane patches?

Chewing lidocaine patches can lead to an overdose of lidocaine, a local anesthetic, which can cause serious side effects such as dizziness, confusion, seizures, and even cardiac issues. The patches are designed for topical application, allowing the medication to be absorbed slowly through the skin, rather than ingested. Ingesting the patch or its contents bypasses this controlled delivery, potentially leading to toxic levels. It is important to use lidocaine patches only as directed by a healthcare professional.

Is it safe to take duragesic 50mg patch with Oxycontin?

Yes, it is. Or It has been fine for me. I have been on the two for 5 years now. Over time you will need to increase the dosage of both. The 'Duragesic Patch' goes up to 100 mg.

Does Fentanyl bother your teeth?

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!

Can you take an expired 25mcg Fentanyl?

Yes, depending on how you plan to use it. BE VERY CAREFUL The fentanyl may solidify and lose its effectiveness transdermally (through your skin). It may also lose its potency, but not by much (guessing 5% max) unless exposed to the air. You can try putting a half patch in your cheek, try not to swallow the gel it is less effective if digested. You can also try heating the patch before applying it. Both these methods are dangerous, and should not be tried without a tolerance. If you have no tolerance, or want to abuse the patch, SWIM recommends that you scrape pinhead sized drops of gel onto tinfoil and vaporize it. you want about 160ug...but how the hell do you measure that. Dont set it on fire, inhale through a tube. I have a friend who died abusing fentanyl, be careful, find a drug forum, read more if you don't know.
