Fentanyl Patches

Fentanyl Patches is a synthetic opioid medicine used to treat moderate to severe pain, it is up to 100 times stronger than other opioids like morphine, heroin, or oxycodone. Fentanyl is from the class of medicines called narcotic analgesics.

What are Fentanyl Patches used for?

• Fentanyl patches are used for long-lasting pain relief for constant, around-the-clock cancer pain.
• Fentanyl nasal sprays, lollipops, injections, sublingual tablets, and sprays are immediate acting and used for breakthrough pain. Breakthrough pain is when you have a flare-up of pain, even though you are taking regular pain medicine for chronic or persistent pain.

Because fentanyl is a powerful prescription opioid it can be misused, abused, and cause overdose deaths.

Fentanyl Patches are classified as Schedule 2 under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).

Fentanyl Patches can slow or stop your breathing and may be habit-forming. MISUSE OF NARCOTIC MEDICINE CAN CAUSE ADDICTION, OVERDOSE, OR DEATH, especially in a child or other person using the medicine without a prescription.

Using this medicine during pregnancy may cause life-threatening withdrawal symptoms in the newborn.

Fatal side effects can occur if you use this medicine with alcohol, or with other drugs that cause drowsiness or slow your breathing.

Before taking this medicine

You should not use fentanyl Patches unless you are already being treated with a similar opioid pain medicine and your body is tolerant to it. Talk with your doctor if you are not sure you are opioid-tolerant.

You should only use or take fentanyl if you have your prescription for this medicine. You should not use fentanyl if you are allergic to it, or if you have:

• severe asthma or other breathing problems; or
• a stomach or bowel obstruction (including paralytic ileus).

To make sure fentanyl Patches is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have ever had:

• breathing problems, sleep apnea;
• a head injury, brain tumor, or mental illness;
• alcoholism or drug addiction;
• urination problems;
• a seizure disorder;
• liver or kidney disease; or
• problems with your gallbladder, pancreas, or thyroid.

If you are using fentanyl patches, tell your doctor if you have been sick with a fever. Having a high temperature can increase the amount of drug you absorb through your skin.

If you use opioid medicine while you are pregnant, your baby could become dependent on the drug. This can cause life-threatening withdrawal symptoms in the baby after it is born. Babies born dependent on opioids may need medical treatment for several weeks.

Do not breastfeed while you are using fentanyl Patches.

Do not change to another form of fentanyl eg injection, skin patch, dissolving film, or “lollipop” device. If you switch from another form of fentanyl, you will not use the same dose.

What is a fentanyl patch?

Fentanyl patches are applied to the skin to treat moderate to severe chronic pain around the clock. Fentanyl patches are used when other pain treatments such as non-opioid pain medicines or immediate-release opioid medicines do not treat your pain well enough or you cannot tolerate them.

Fentanyl patches are not for treating mild or occasional pain or pain from surgery. The patches are only used to treat constant around-the-clock pain.

One patch is applied to the skin and left on for 72 hours, then you remove the patch and apply a new patch straight away.

Discontinue all other extended-release opioids when beginning therapy.

Due to the risk of respiratory depression, the transdermal patch is for use in opioid-tolerant patients only; opioid-tolerant patients have been taking at least: morphine 60 mg daily, oral oxycodone 30 mg daily, oral hydromorphone 8 mg daily, or an equianalgesic dose of another opioid for 1 week or longer.
