Fentanyl/Fluanisone
Fentanyl/Fluanisone (pronunciation: fen-ta-nil / flu-an-i-sone) is a combination of two drugs, Fentanyl and Fluanisone, used primarily in veterinary medicine for sedation, analgesia, and muscle relaxation.
Etymology
The term "Fentanyl" is derived from the name of its inventor, Dr. Paul Janssen, who first synthesized the drug in 1960. The name "Fluanisone" is derived from the chemical structure of the drug, which includes a fluoro group and an anisole group.
Fentanyl
Fentanyl is a potent, synthetic opioid analgesic with a rapid onset and short duration of action. It is a strong agonist at the μ-opioid receptors. Fentanyl is approximately 100 times more potent than morphine, and is used in the management of chronic pain, including cancer pain.
Fluanisone
Fluanisone is a typical antipsychotic and sedative of the thioxanthene group. It is used in the veterinary field for its sedative and muscle relaxant properties.
