Risc de dependència, abús i sobredosi per fentanil
Abstract
Over the past 20 years, the prescription of fentanyl and other opioids stronger than morphine has increased, primarily through transdermal and rapid-release administration. Although their indications are well-established, fentanyl is often used in unauthorized cases or for inappropriate durations, increasing the risk of severe adverse effects, especially when combined with other drugs affecting the central nervous system (CNS), such as benzodiazepines or antidepressants. These factors heighten the likelihood of dependence, abuse, and overdose. The SEFV has recorded few reports of these issues (7.5%), although available data confirm the risks associated with inappropriate use of fentanyl. Emphasis is placed on the need to report adverse reactions to improve the safety of its use.
