Carfentanil: A Dangerous New Factor in the U.S. Opioid Crisis
Carfentanil is a synthetic opioid approximately 10,000 times more potent than morphine and 100 times
more potent than fentanyl. The presence of carfentanil in illicit U.S. drug markets is cause for concern, as
the relative strength of this drug could lead to an increase in overdoses and overdose-related deaths, even
among opioid-tolerant users. The presence of carfentanil poses a significant threat to first responders and
law enforcement personnel who may come in contact with this substance. In any situation where any
fentanyl-related substance, such as carfentanil, might be present, law enforcement should
carefully follow safety protocols to avoid accidental exposure.
