S03E09: Narcotics: Most Dangerous Synthetic Opioids
Manage episode 354234232 series 1988021
This podcast episode will delve into the topic of the four most dangerous opioids: fentanyl, hydrocodone, carfentanil, and tramadol.
Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that is 50-100 times more potent than morphine. It is often added to other drugs, such as heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine, making it even more dangerous. Overdose deaths related to fentanyl have been on the rise in recent years.
Hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opioid that is commonly prescribed for pain management. It is also highly addictive and can lead to overdose when taken in large quantities or combination with other substances.
Carfentanil is a highly potent synthetic opioid that is used as a tranquilizer for large animals. It is 10,000 times more potent than morphine and should not be used by humans. Carfentanil has been responsible for a significant number of opioid overdoses in recent years.
Tramadol is a synthetic opioid that is commonly prescribed for pain management. Although it is considered to be less potent than other opioids, it can still lead to addiction and overdose when misused.
Join us as we discuss the dangers of these opioids, their effects on the body, and the consequences of misuse.
