Fentanyl is a powerful pain medication and is potentially life-threatening if not taken properly.

Fentanyl is used for chronic pain management. It is skin permeable and will be immediately absorbed upon contact with skin. Overdose of this drug can result in difficulty breathing, leading to respiratory and cardiac arrest.

Police are reminding the public to report any unidentified substances to police immediately. If located, do not touch the patches to avoid accidental absorption. Do not ingest any medications or drugs unless they have been specifically prescribed to you by your doctor. Seek medical attention immediately if you have an adverse physical reaction to any ingested substance.
