Hello,
Fentynal is obliviously better than Butrans. Hep C leads to chronic hepatitis which is painful condition. For Fentynal you should remember that the medicine is used only by people who have been taking an opioid or narcotic pain medicine for at least a week. i would suggest consult your doctor to start Fentynal.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
