Molecular weight: 528.61. CAS: 990-73-8. Structural formula: DESCRIPTION ASPEN FENTANYL solution for injection is a clear and colourless solution in a glass ampoule.

The principal actions of therapeutic value are analgesia and sedation. Alterations in respiratory rate and alveolar ventilation associated with opioid analgesics may last longer than the analgesic effect. As the dose of opioid is increased, the decrease in pulmonary exchange becomes greater. Large doses may produce apnoea. Fentanyl appears to have less emetic activity than either morphine or pethidine. Histamine assays and skin weal testing in humans indicate that clinically significant ASPEN FENTANYL - Product Information Page 2 of 10 histamine release rarely occurs with fentanyl.
