Sufentanil, sold under the brand names Sufenta among others, is an opioid medication used to treat moderate to severe pain and during anesthesia.[1][2] It may be given under the tongue, by injection into a vein, or into epidural space.[1][2] Effects last for up to 4 hours.[1]

Common side effects include respiratory depression (insufficient breathing) and stiff muscles.[1] Other side effects may include abuse, adrenal insufficiency, low blood pressure, androgen deficiency, and serotonin syndrome.[1] It works by attaching to μ-opioid receptors in the brain.[2]

Sufentanil was first made in 174 and approved for medical use in the United States in 1984.[3][1] In the United States it costs about 50 USD for 500 ucg as of 2021.[4] In the United States it is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance.[1]
