¿Qué es Fentanyl Citrate (Pf)?

El Citrato de Fentanilo (PF) es un analgésico opioide sintético potente que actúa como un aliviador del dolor de inicio rápido con una duración de acción corta. Se utiliza predominantemente en hospitales para manejar episodios de dolor severo o como parte de la anestesia antes de cirugías. Su alta potencia requiere precisión en la dosificación, y su uso está estrictamente regulado debido a riesgos significativos de adicción y depresión respiratoria.
