    Fentanyl is an opioid analgesic used to treat pain. It works by binding to opioid receptors in the central nervous system and altering neurotransmitter release. Fentanyl is indicated for anesthesia and managing pain, especially chronic cancer pain. It has a rapid onset of analgesia. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, weakness, and drowsiness. Fentanyl is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity or increased intracranial pressure. As a nurse, it is important to monitor vital signs, educate patients on side effects and proper administration, and notify the physician of any adverse reactions.
