What happens if fentora is swallowed?

Fentora is a buccal formulation of fentanyl designed to be absorbed through the mucous membranes of the mouth. If swallowed, it may not be effective, as it is intended for absorption in the oral cavity rather than the digestive system. This can lead to a risk of overdose if the swallowed medication is released in a manner that is not controlled, potentially causing serious respiratory depression and other side effects. It's crucial to use Fentora as directed by a healthcare professional.
