para-fluorofuranyl fentanyl is an analogue of the opioid analgesic fentanyl. It has been identified as an opioid receptor agonist with analgesic properties that has no therapeutic use. It has the potential to cause serious adverse events as well as dependence but it has only been identified in a small number of countries with no information as to problems associated with its use. At present there is insufficient information on dependence, abuse and risks to public health associated with use of this substance to enable consideration of its potential to be placed under international control.
