  • Fentanyl is not the cheapest opiate in US hospitals, and is not used as a substitute for morphine or oxycodone. It’s primarily used for anesthesia, where oxycodone/hydrocodone/morphine/hydromorphone are used in the units as pain killers taken orally. Injectable hydromorphone is cheaper and more commonly used for acute pain than fentanyl.
