Ocfentanil (INN) is an opioid analgesic that is an analogue of fentanyl and was developed in the early 1990s^[1]. It is similar to fentanyl in effects, producing strong analgesia and sedation, but is slightly more potent, with 3μg/kg of ocfentanil being equivalent to 5μg/kg of fentanyl.^[2]

Side effects of fentanyl analogues are similar to those of fentanyl, and include itching, nausea and potentially serious respiratory depression which can be life-threatening.
