Why a "revision used" link? Anyone can edit Wikipedia at any time, so the article you open today may not say what it said when we read it. This link opens the exact version we read on 24 October 2026, frozen as it was. It is the only way to check that every quote on this page matches its source word for word. Newer versions may correct or change things. When we re-check this page against a newer version, the edit log records it. How we cite

What dose are you on? (self-reported, unverified)
Read this first. These numbers come from anonymous visitors typing in a box. Nobody checks them. People misjudge, mistype, troll, or take untested products of unknown strength. They are not a dose guide and never override the sourced table above. They exist only so the sourced ranges can be compared with what people say they take. If you are deciding what to take, use the sourced table, start low, and read the risks section.

Overview

Rare, little known and extremely potent analogue of Fentanyl developed by Janssen Pharmaceutica in the 1960s. Use with extreme caution and never mix with other depressants. TS

Parafluorofentanyl (4-fluorofentanyl, para-fluorofentanyl, pFF) is an opioid analgesic analogue of fentanyl developed by Janssen Pharmaceuticals in the 1960s. WP

Parafluorofentanyl was sold briefly on the US black market in the early 1980s, before the introduction of the Federal Analog Act which for the first time attempted to control entire families of drugs based on their structural similarity rather than scheduling each drug individually as they appeared. Parafluorofentanyl is made by the same synthetic route as fentanyl, but by substituting para-fluoroaniline for aniline in the synthesis.[1][2] WP⚠ Wikipedia itself has flagged this text: citation needed.

Side effects of fentanyl analogs are similar to those of fentanyl itself, which include itching, nausea, and potentially serious respiratory depression, which can be life-threatening. Fentanyl analogs have killed thousands of people throughout Europe and the former Soviet republics since the most recent resurgence in use began in Estonia in the early 2000s, and novel derivatives continue to appear.[3] WP

In 2020, the Drug Enforcement Agency warned about the increasing prevalence of parafluorofentanyl in Arizona.[4][5] WP
