If you have heard of Fentanyl, you might already know how deadly it can be. Fentanyl has many pharmaceutical names such as Actiq, Duragesic or Sublimaze. Fentanyl can be up to 50 times more potent than morphine. It is used to increase the potency and profit of heroin and can also used in making Fentanyl-pressed fake Oxycodone or Fentanyl-laced Xanax. Because of the potency of Fentanyl, as little as 0.25 mg has been found to cause a fatal overdose.
