Description
Description:
Fentanyl 5x 25mcg patches are a potent opioid analgesic designed for managing severe chronic pain in patients who require continuous, long-term pain relief. Manufactured by Hexal AG, these transdermal patches deliver a steady dose of Fentanyl, providing effective and sustained pain management for individuals who are opioid-tolerant and have not found adequate relief from other pain medications.
Key Features:
- Potent Pain Relief: Fentanyl is a highly potent opioid analgesic, offering powerful pain relief for severe chronic pain conditions that are unmanageable with other medications.
- Continuous Delivery: The transdermal patches provide a consistent release of Fentanyl over a 72-hour period, ensuring stable blood levels and continuous pain control.
- Convenient and Non-Invasive: The patch form offers a convenient and non-invasive method of administration, ideal for patients who have difficulty swallowing pills or require consistent pain management without frequent dosing.
Indications:
Fentanyl 5x 25mcg patches are indicated for:
- Management of severe chronic pain in patients who are opioid-tolerant and require around-the-clock pain relief.
- Pain management in conditions where other opioid treatments have been inadequate.
Dosage and Administration:
- Each Fentanyl patch is designed to be worn for 72 hours, after which it should be replaced with a new patch.
- The patch should be applied to a clean, dry, and non-irritated area of the skin on the upper body or upper arm.
- Rotate the application site with each new patch to avoid skin irritation.
Precautions:
- Fentanyl patches should only be used by patients who are opioid-tolerant and under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.
- Do not cut or damage the patch, as this can lead to uncontrolled release of Fentanyl and increase the risk of overdose.
- Avoid exposure to heat sources (such as heating pads or hot baths) while wearing the patch, as this can increase the rate of Fentanyl absorption and risk of overdose.
- Monitor for signs of Fentanyl overdose, including shallow breathing, extreme drowsiness, and inability to respond.
Storage:
- Store Fentanyl patches at room temperature (20°C to 25°C) away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight.
- Keep the patches out of reach of children and pets. Used patches still contain significant amounts of Fentanyl and should be disposed of properly to prevent accidental exposure.
Note:
Fentanyl patches are a potent opioid analgesic intended for use in patients with severe chronic pain who have not achieved adequate relief from other pain management strategies. Due to the risk of serious side effects, including respiratory depression and potential for abuse, Fentanyl patches should be used strictly according to the prescribing healthcare professional’s instructions and under close medical supervision. Misuse or improper handling of Fentanyl patches can result in life-threatening consequences.
