What Is Fentanyl Citrate?
Fentanyl citrate is a narcotic painkiller commonly distributed as a lozenge (also known as a lollipop) or through injection, according to the manufacturer’s website. It is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be used as a painkiller, but because of its addictive potential it is tightly controlled and only available under a doctor’s prescription. Fentanyl injections are usually given only in a hospital setting due to the risk of overdose.
