I've noticed that the de factor pronunciation of the name of this drug has degenerated into FENT-A-NAWL rather than the correct FEN-TIN-ILL. Go figure.

Why isn't it fen-TAN-ill?
 
Being a smartass about pronunciation, doesn't mix well with spelling "de facto" as "de factor"

I pronounce the y as an i, but I'm not claiming to be perfect
 
Fent-a-NAWL sounds more chemical-like, ergo more 'deadly'.

The Y in fentanyl should be changed to an O.

IMO.
 
I pronounce it "crap."
It's one of the lousiest painkillers I've ever taken. Virtually no euphoria, just a tired and exhausted feeling, with a rapid tolerance buildup. However, it's an effective pain reducer for short-term use.

Best talk to the chemists about the name change and ask them why it is so.. Think they'll change it up?.. Naw... 😁

Fentanyl (CAS-437-38-7) is a piperidine derivative. The fully systematic name (IUPAC) is N-(1-(2-phenethyl)-4-piperidinyl-N-phenyl-propanamide.

I had it by IV Bolus in the hospital and found it to be the best opiate I've ever taken. Very comfortable. With Dilaudid a close second.

Dilaudid is equally effective as Fentanyl with a slightly better comfort level for me. I find the tolerance buildup to the more potent opioids to be a negative. Oxycodone is by far the most pleasant painkiller I've ever been prescribed. Hydrocodone is a bit less effective and makes me itch and nauseated as does morphine. Though morphine is one of the more potent ones. It's possibly an individual thing.

I like oxycodone for getting a sound 4-hour sleep but then having to deal with being constipated. I'm having a canine extracted so oxycodone will beat Tylenol.

Oxycodone seemed to give me a lot of energy. And yes, opiate response definitely differs from one person to the next.
 
I pronounce it as "die." Kidding/not kidding.

"fen-ta-nil." Somewhere between "a" and "i," and if you say it fast, which most people do, you hear "fen-tu-nil" too. Anyway, I think we all recognize the drug's name.
 
Ch-i-na
 
Its a good thing these pain killers are controlled substance and I'm too cheap or scared to buy on the street, or I'd be strung out. If somehow I could be prescribed only four pills a week that would be good.

A word I have needed to speak. So I have no idea how I would pronounce it.

I’m surprised they’re prescribing you oxy for an extraction. Most oral surgeons and periodontists have moved to prescription strength Ibuprofen. The licensing, training and insurance to prescribe narcotics has grown increasingly expensive and cumbersome.
