U.S. News & World Report quoted Dr. Chelsea Shover, associate professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management, about her research into fentanyl use by substance abusers.
“To put it in perspective, in the hospital settings, fentanyl is often dosed in 100 microgram vials,” Shover said. “One gram of average purity fentanyl that we tested had a dose equivalent to more than that 1,200 of these vials. So people are getting daily doses that are on par with injecting hundreds of the hospital vials or taking 440 Percocet pills.”
