Is It Safe To Drive And Use Fentanyl

Updated

If fentanyl is 80 times stronger than morphine would you consider it safe to drive and work on the 50mg fentanyl mylan patch?

I would not consider this safe. And I'm sure your Dr, and the local police would agree with me.

A friend of mine was recently stopped by the local police. He is on dilaudid for chronic back pain, he got a DUI.

Be careful and don't take dilaudids and drive.

It's a 50 microgram patch, not 50 milligrams, because it is very potent.

That said, it is usually best not to drive, operate heavy machinery, or engage in any activity that requires optimal mental alertness, when you first start taking any new medication, until you are aware of how it affects, since it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, and sedation.

As Frankie has stated, the police do take such an issue seriously, if someone is pulled over, it is considered driving under the influence, even if it is prescribed.

The FDA also warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming.

Is there anything else I can help with?
