Hi,

I am not sure about this but you can search for generic medicine store in your area. Generic medicines are not branded ones but do have same results. They are cheaper as compare to branded medicines. Search for generic medicine store and inquire about availability of this drug. Better not to take Fentanyl as it is having more side effects.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
