Hi,
Butrans is limited to the extent of its effect. It does not have a full effect. Therefore, while all the others can be increased to give more effect, this is NOT true of butrans. Otherwise, which gets you to drink more? beer, wine, or whiskey...well... you can get fatally drunk on any, but whiskey is more concentrated per ounce. Fentanyl is more concentrated per ounce but oxycontin can also give fatal narcotic overdose.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
