Fentanyl?

[question everything]

A friend was undergoing colonoscopy the other day and Fentanyl was used as the sedative.

I suppose it is beneficial when is used as prescribed still surprised us.

1. Yes. It is very effective, highly powerful opioid pain-killer 50-100 x more potent than morphine

and therein lies the problem when street forms are cut with cocaine.

Not a sedative, but a painkiller. They likely used propofol to sedate your friend.

The procedure was quick, though.
