Fentanyl Citrate
This citrate salt form of fentanyl is a highly potent opioid analgesic used to manage severe pain, often administered in hospital settings or for breakthrough cancer pain. It binds strongly to opioid receptors in the central nervous system and requires careful dosing due to its high risk of respiratory depression.
