Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that is similar to morphine but is 50 to 100 times more potent.
1,2 It is a prescription drug that is also made and used illegally. Like morphine, it is a medicine that is typically used to treat patients with severe pain, especially after surgery.

4 Tolerance occurs when you need a higher and/or more frequent amount of a drug to get the desired effects.
