A patient with COPD was receiving 12.5mcg of fentanyl. The gp double this dose to 25mcg. The patient died two weeks later. Is there any correlation?
My aunt had COPD and she was on 12.5mcg fentanyl. Her doctor doubled up her dose as her symptoms got worse and she died after 2 weeks. Do you think she died due to the overdose of fentanyl?
