fentanyl and Hepatitis C

fentanyl has been researched along with Hepatitis C in 8 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.

Hepatitis C: INFLAMMATION of the LIVER in humans caused by HEPATITIS C VIRUS, a single-stranded RNA virus. Its incubation period is 30-90 days. Hepatitis C is transmitted primarily by contaminated blood parenterally and is often associated with transfusion and intravenous drug abuse. However, in a significant number of cases, the source of hepatitis C infection is unknown.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Due to concerns over potential interactions between some hepatitis C direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) and opioids, we describe adverse event (AE) reports of concomitant use of opioids and DAAs."1.91Reported adverse events related to use of hepatitis C virus direct-acting antivirals with opioids: 2017-2021. ( Collins, M; Conway, B; Dylla, DE; Khan, T; Marcinak, J; Martinez, A; Saget, B, 2023)
"Fentanyl was used in cell lines replicating HBV or HCV at concentrations of 1 ng, 100 ng, and 10 ug."1.62The synthetic opioid fentanyl enhances viral replication in vitro. ( Blackard, JT; Brown, JL; Karns, R; Kong, L; Lyons, MS; Shata, MTM; Sherman, KE, 2021)
