Question: Hi Dr! I have chewed on a fentanyl patch about 6 hours ago. I have been on suboxone foe 5 months before that. Now I have read that chewing is the worst and may kill you. How long does it take to die from it. I feel fine, but a little worried....

Hello

Thanks for the query

It is difficult to say when the toxicity of a fentanyl patch can start as it is a slow releasing drug. I request you to not take chance and approach an emergency room immediately for admission to the micu

I hope I was of help
