What is fentanyl?
Fentanyl is an extremely potent synthetic opioid similar to morphine, but more powerful. It is a prescription drug but is also manufactured illegally and is sometimes mixed with other illicit drugs such as heroin and cocaine, often without the user’s knowledge. The potency of fentanyl makes it very addictive and puts users at a high risk for overdose.
Statista, a provider of market and consumer data, also says that in 2021, around 70,600 people in the United States died from a drug overdose that involved fentanyl.
