Fentanyl is indeed a powerful narcotic analgesic that belongs to the class of opioids. It is a synthetic opioid that acts as a potent agonist of the μ-opioid receptors in the brain. The μ-opioid receptors are responsible for mediating the analgesic effects of opioids and are also involved in the development of addiction. Fentanyl has been listed as a controlled substance under the United Nations’ “Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs” since 1961 and is commonly used for the management of moderate to severe pain, particularly in cases where other opioids may be ineffective or inadequate. It is often used in medical settings, such as during surgery or for chronic pain management.
