Fentanyl
- Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid analgesic that is similar to morphine but is 50 to 100 times more potent. In its prescription form it is prescribed for pain, but fentanyl is also made illegally and distributed as a street drug.
- Fentanyl and other synthetic opioids are the most common drugs involved in overdose deaths.

Illegal opioids include:
• street drugs from a drug dealer
• opioids given to you by someone who is not your health care provider
• opioids that are not prescribed to you but are taken from someone else
It is illegal to have opioids without a prescription or to share them with someone – even if you give them away
