How Much Fentanyl?
Hi there! Well, it depends on which type of Fentanyl you are using: Fentanyl transdermal, injectable, or the transmucosal.

Onset of action is 12-24 hours and peaks within 1-3 days, duration varies. May I ask, what type of pain medication has your patient been receiving? Oftentimes m
