AI overview
Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic painkiller that is 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine and is primarily used to treat severe pain in cancer patients and people recovering from surgery. It matters because its extreme potency makes it effective for serious medical needs, but this same strength also makes it a significant public health concern when misused.
