That Must be the reason the hospital stopped using.the drug.

Ugly Ugly Ugly side affects....

 Not sure where you get your information from. The drug is one of the cleanest used for anesthesia. It’s very effective at suppressing coughing attacks known to happen during surgery. You may one of the few that have an allergy. Myself and many others woke out of surgery alert and without grogginess following fentanyl.

Fentanyl is a pain medication.  It is used in combination with a benzodiazepine such as Midazolam for conscious (moderate) sedation in procedures where general anesthesia or deep sedation is unnecessary.  It can also be used as a continuous IV drip for people who are intubated and sedated using other meds, propofol, dexmedetomodine, ketamine.  If the coughing you are talking about is from an endotracheal tube, then Fentanyl does nothing to combat that.  When people are intubated for surgery, they are given a paralytic so they don't fight the tube being placed.  Usually succinylcholine, vecuronium, or rocuronium depending on the length of procedure.  Gas is also used in general anesthesia, sevoflurane, isoflurane, desflurane.  

Fentanyl is a great medication for pain when used correctly.  It has a quick onset and short half life so it works quickly and gets metabolized fairly quickly depending on the patient's liver status.

Opioid related deaths just overtook alcohol related deaths during 2021. First time ever. 

An additional issue is they are poisoning non opioid users.  Xanax,  Adderall,  cocaine, xtacy etc...all have been laced with it. This is flat out murder.

If people are prone to coughing, fentanyl is preferred because it doesn’t cause a histamine release, which causes bronchospasm.

The coughing is during post op. It cause is up for debate. Fentanyl and sufentanil contributes to less coughing than remifentanil. Still, any opioid or fentanyl analogue can contribute to post op coughing in over than half of all patients. One theory is it's the citrate  carrier causing an abundance of citric acid in the stomach and resulting cough. Another is a possible receptor issue effecting on the vagus nerve and resulting bronchial constriction.

It's also in weed. There's been scattered overdoes. It's very rare and I haven't  heard where any were actually lethal. As for Xanax and adderall, I haven't encountered any adderall overdoses from that, but for sure with Xanax. It's not actually prescription pills, but rather pressings. They are very easy to spot.
