Why Fentanyl Is So Dangerous
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid far stronger than heroin or morphine. It’s now found in counterfeit pills and mixed into other street drugs, often without the user knowing, and it is a leading cause of overdose deaths.
Because tolerance builds quickly and withdrawal is intense, getting medical support and medication-assisted treatment early makes a real difference.
Keep naloxone (Narcan) on hand
- It can reverse an opioid overdose
- Many California pharmacies offer it without a prescription
- If someone is unresponsive or not breathing, call 911 right away
