Beginning in 2015, Canada saw a sharp increase in fentanyl overdose cases. Authorities tracked many of the cases back to fentanyl that had been mixed into fake Oxycontin pills. In 2006, an outbreak of overdose deaths occurred in the US and Canada after illegally manufactured fentanyl was mixed with cocaine and heroin.
The patient’s size, weight, and overall health affect the drug’s elimination time as well. Individuals who already have a tolerance for synthetic opioids will be able to take higher doses with a lower risk of overdose. Fentanyl transdermal patches are produced in a range of doses to accommodate for the vast metabolic differences of patients. Fentanyl transdermal patches are available in 12 mcg/hour, 25 mcg/hour, 50 mcg/hour, 75 mcg/hour, and 100 mcg/hour doses. Doses enter the bloodstream gradually over the course of 72 hours.
Typical blood plasma concentrations for therapeutic medication range between 0.3 ug/l to 3.0 ug/l. When fentanyl transdermal patches are abused recreationally, plasma levels may range between 3 ug/l to 300 ug/l -in cases of acute overdose. Fentanyl can be tested for in the blood and urine. Immunoassays are typically used for initial screenings. Chromatographic techniques are often used for follow-up analysis.
