A member asked:
How often does fentanyl cause overdose death?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: The main risks with fentanyl would be excessive and/or inappropriate over-usage at home. Deaths from narcotic accidental overdoses are increasing across the country. In a monitored situation such as in a hospital, overdose would likely be very rare but not impossible.
