Fentanyl is what we use on animal for pain management when we do amputations  What many people fail to realize it that it is highly toxic if handled inproperly.  Stay far away from it.

Avis is wise.  

"Fentanyl is an opioid analgesic with a potency approximately eighty times that of morphine."  

According to the FDA: "Duragesic is to be used only for the management of severe,
chronic pain (such as cancer pain) that cannot be managed with less powerful drugs such as acetaminophen-opioid combinations and nonsteroidal analgesics.  Moreover, the patch should be used only by patients who are already on and tolerant to opioid therapy, and who require continuous opioid administration."
