I’ve always heard that a singular dot of fentanyl can kill you. Yet we use it medically, for pain relief. And many people are addicted to it but stay alive while using. Is there like a different method of using it? How do people use it and not die?
In: Chemistry
There’s a couple things that lower the possibility of overdose. First being tolerance, people who use fentanyl on the street usually have a very high tolerance to opiates and they will be able to withstand a higher dosage of fentanyl without od. Another is the way pharmaceutical fentanyl is manufactured and designed, most fentanyl prescribed is used through a patch, which limits the amount of fentanyl released into the bloodstream. Some patches will slowly release the dose over a period of 24 hours or longer. Hope I was able to help a bit, let me know if I can answer any questions you have
