Fentanyl (FTN) Drug Tests

About

Why test for Fentanyl? Fentanyl is one of the most dangerous street drugs available, and has become increasingly prevalent in recent years. In a pharmaceutical setting, Fentanyl is administered to patients who are in the late stages of a cancer diagnosis, or to patients who are experiencing unbearable levels of chronic pain. The peril of Fentanyl comes from its potency— a dose as small as 2,000 micrograms, or just 2 mg, can be fatal. This is particularly concerning when you consider that 2 milligrams is comparable to a few grains of sand. But perhaps the most distressing part about Fentanyl becoming a more widespread issue is the fact that it is often cut into (or mixed with) other street drugs, like ecstacy, cocaine, and heroin. Thus, many users are unaware that they are putting Fentanyl into their bodies, often finding out after the effects have begun, or when an overdose occurs. For these reasons, companies, healthcare providers, and other organizations must remain vigilant in testing for this substance. Just a minute amount of Fentanyl is needed to cause impairment, with symptoms including: Confusion Shallow or labored breathing Nausea Drowsiness Inability to focus/concentrate Paranoia Mood swings Euphoria or dysphoria Hallucinations Reduced feelings of pain Constricted pupils Constipation Sweating If you suspect Fentanyl use, either by a patient, employee, coworker, family member, friend, etc, it is imperative to administer a test. With a conclusive answer, proper treatment and a plan of action can be implemented, protecting the best interests of all involved. How accurate are Fentanyl drug tests ?
