- Title
Para‐fluorofentanyl: Coincidence or intentional?
- Authors
Canfield, Jeremy R.; Canfield, Kristin V.; Sprague, Jon E.
- Abstract
The article shares insight on whether the combination of para-Fluorofentanyl (pFF) and fentanyl is coincidental or intentional. It refers to illicitly manufactured fentanyls as a primary contributor to opioid overdose deaths worldwide. It cites conflicting reports regarding the potency of pFF compared to fentanyl and hypothesizes that the inclusion of pFF is an intentional addition by illicit laboratories to prolong the effects of fentanyl.
