Fentanyl: A Powerful but Dangerous Drug Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid drug that is often used to treat severe pain. It is a Schedule II controlled substance, which means that it has a high potential for abuse and dependence. Despite its effectiveness in treating pain, fentanyl can be extremely dangerous and even deadly if used improperly. Uses of Fentanyl Fentanyl is primarily used to manage severe pain, particularly in patients who are undergoing surgery or who are experiencing chronic pain due to cancer or other serious medical conditions. It can also be used as a part of anesthesia for surgical procedures. Fentanyl is available in several different forms, including transdermal patches, lozenges, and injectable solutions. Demerits of Fentanyl The main danger of fentanyl is its potential for abuse and overdose. Fentanyl is a highly potent drug, up to 100 times more potent than morphine. It can cause a rapid onset of sedation, respiratory depression, and even coma or dea...
DELTACRON Variant in Cyprus
A new strain of Covid19 has been found by researchers from
Cyprus and has been named as DELTRACRON.
This variant is said to be combination of DELTRA variant and
OMICRON Variant having many characteristic common from DELTA and OMICRON Variant.
Many experts’ belief it to be only a Scariant (one less
thing to be worried about) –
All about DELMICRON
How do we define Variant?
A virus evolves, replicates and spread by hijacking the reproductive
system of cell. It makes its own copy to spread itself to other cells and even different
host.
Sometimes while copying itself, some mistakes happen
accidently known to be mutations.
While most of the mutations are useless but few mutations
even make the virus stronger than earlier.
These type of one or more mutations makes the virus stronger
and known as New Variant.
Researchers from Cyprus has found signatures of Delta
Variant and Omicron Variant in 25 patients. They have even sent those samples
to German lab for further genome sequencing
Many experts believe that this might not be real variant or
may be contamination in lab.
Yet, WHO has not remarked anything about this new variant.
Stay with us for more updates on the issue.
