BEWARE DO NOT TOUCH DOLLARS LIKE THIS

Fentanyl is a potent synthetic opioid drug approved by the FDA for use as an analgesic and anesthetic.It is approximately 100 times more potent than morphine and 50 times more potent than heroin as an analgesic.

Fentanyl is FDA-approved to treat severe pain related to surgery or complex pain conditions. However, fentanyl and other illegally made synthetic opioids have been increasingly found in the drug supply, contributing to a dramatic rise in drug overdose deaths in the United States.

People both knowingly consume fentanyl and other synthetic opioids and unknowingly consume them when they are mixed into or sold as other drugs, such as heroin, cocaine, or counterfeit pills. Using a drug that has been contaminated with or replaced by fentanyl can greatly increase one’s risk of overdose.
