Daria, did you happen to miss the spot on the box where it says FOR OPIOID TOLERANT PATIENTS ONLY ? Should be there in great big letters unless its a very very old patch and it is most certainly all over any internet information regarding this medication. Fentanyl is an extremely strong morphine like medication, so strong in fact it was killing heroin addicts because they couldn't handle the dose. It's called China White on the street but you never know what you get on the street. But 100mch/hr is the highest dose they make. It's so strong they don't measure it in milligrams like most medications, this stuff is measured in micrograms per hour. Each patch contains enough medication to keep someone very used to these kinds of drugs medicated for 72 hours. ONE (1) patch.
Take that damn patch off them right now and health insurance or not take the to the closest ER or dial 911 and tell them you have a suspected fentanyl
pronounced fen-ta-nil overdose. Don't throw the patch away, but get it off them and handle the sticky side as little as possible. Lay it on the sink out of the way and wash your hands completely. Let them know you handled the patch.
THIS IS NO JOKE. DO EXACTLY AS i SAID OR THIS PERSON WILL STOP BREATHING.
Crap. 3 days ago. They're dead I tried....
