fentanyl and Alcoholism

fentanyl has been researched along with Alcoholism in 20 studies

Fentanyl: A potent narcotic analgesic, abuse of which leads to habituation or addiction. It is primarily a mu-opioid agonist. Fentanyl is also used as an adjunct to general anesthetics, and as an anesthetic for induction and maintenance. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p1078)
fentanyl : A monocarboxylic acid amide resulting from the formal condensation of the aryl amino group of N-phenyl-1-(2-phenylethyl)piperidin-4-amine with propanoic acid.

Alcoholism: A primary, chronic disease with genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations. The disease is often progressive and fatal. It is characterized by impaired control over drinking, preoccupation with the drug alcohol, use of alcohol despite adverse consequences, and distortions in thinking, most notably denial. Each of these symptoms may be continuous or periodic. (Morse & Flavin for the Joint Commission of the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence and the American Society of Addiction Medicine to Study the Definition and Criteria for the Diagnosis of Alcoholism: in JAMA 1992;268:1012-4)

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Fentanyl was found at a high rate, even in the absence of other opioids, which suggests that some veterans might be consuming fentanyl with cocaine."1.62Brief Report: Rates of Fentanyl Use Among Psychiatric Emergency Room Patients. ( Campbell, S; Elmarasi, M; Fuehrlein, B; Garcia-Vassallo, G, 2021)
"Meperidine and fentanyl were the most frequently mentioned drugs."1.27Drug abuse in anesthesia training programs. A survey: 1970 through 1980. ( Saidman, LJ; Ward, CF; Ward, GC, 1983)
