Okay, I know this has been covered, please don't close. Basically I am summarizing and then asking my question.
Basically I can take 1/4 of a 50ug/hr matrix patch and do this:
1. Let sit in rubbing alcohol for 1hr.
2. Evaporate the alcohol, leaving me with crystals (fentanyl?).
3. Resuspend crystals with sterile water.
4. Approximate and measure desired shot, and shoot?
If this is correct please let me know, I don't want to waste this quarter and I believe this seems correct from what I read so far.
My question:
Well more like a statement, correct me if I am wrong.
According to a narcotic converter Fentanyl is a lot more potent then Oxy and most other opioids. From what I got is:
~1.0mg Fentanyl = 200mg Oxycodone
And from what I calculated, the matrix patch contains 5.1 mg of Fentanyl. So I measured and cut it into quarters, equivalent to 1.275mg of Fentanyl. So:
1.275mg Fent x (200mg Oxy/1.0mg Fent) = ~255mg Oxycodone
Does that measure out correctly?
So if this rubbing alcohol extraction is 90% efficient, I should get about:
1.275mg Fent x 0.90 = ~1.09mg Fentanyl or
255mg Oxy x 0.90 = 229.5mg Oxycodone
Thank you for your time and I am just trying to be safe here with my choice of potential injection. I appreciate this thread exponentially.
Take care..
