4F-EPH
Aliases: 4f-tep, 4-fluoroethylphenidate, 4-feph
Summary
4F-EPH is a novel research chemical with minimal human use history and unknown long-term toxicity. First reported death occurred in 2016 involving polydrug use. The substance is notably less caustic to nasal cavities than ethylphenidate but still causes mild to moderate damage with intranasal use; users should perform sterile saline nasal rinses after insufflation.
