1. What Fentanilo Aurovitas Spain is and what it is used for

This medicine is called Fentanilo Aurovitas Spain.

The patches help relieve severe and long-lasting pain:

in adults who require continuous pain treatment.
in children over 2 years of age who are already using opioid medication and who require continuous pain treatment.

Fentanilo Aurovitas Spain contains a medicine called fentanil. It belongs to a group of strong painkillers known as opioids.

2. What you need to know before using Fentanilo Aurovitas Spain

Do not use Fentanilo Aurovitas Spain:

If you are allergic to fentanyl or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
If you have pain that only lasts a short time, such as sudden pain or pain after surgery.
If you have difficulty breathing, with slow or weak breathing.

Do not use this medicine if you or your child are in any of the above situations. If you are unsure, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using fentanyl.

Warnings and precautions

Fentanyl can have life-threatening adverse effects in people who are not regularly using prescribed opioids.

Fentanilo Aurovitas Spain is a medicine that could be life-threatening to children, even if the patches have already been used. Please note that a patch (used or unused) may attract a child's attention, and if it adheres to a child’s skin or if the child puts it in their mouth, the result may be fatal.

Keep this medicine in a safe and secure place, out of reach of others. See section 5 for more information.

If the patch adheres to another person

The patch should only be used on the skin of the person for whom the doctor has prescribed it. There have been cases where a patch has accidentally adhered to another family member due to close physical contact or sharing the same bed with the person wearing the patch. If the patch accidentally adheres to another person (especially a child), the medicine from the patch may pass through the other person’s skin and cause serious adverse effects, such as difficulty breathing, slow or weak breathing, which may be fatal. If the patch adheres to another person’s skin, remove it immediately and seek medical help.

Take special care with Fentanilo Aurovitas Spain

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine if you are in any of the following situations. Your doctor will need to monitor you more closely:

If you have ever had lung or breathing problems.
If you have ever had heart, liver, or kidney problems, or low blood pressure.
If you have ever had a brain tumor.
If you have ever had persistent headaches or a head injury.
If you are elderly, as you may be more sensitive to the effects of this medicine.
If you have a disorder called "myasthenia gravis," in which muscles become weak and tire easily.

If any of the above conditions apply to you (or if you are unsure), consult your doctor or pharmacist before using fentanyl.

While using the patch, inform your doctor if you experience breathing problems during sleep.

Opioids such as fentanyl can cause sleep-related breathing disorders such as sleep apnea (pauses in breathing during sleep) and sleep-related hypoxemia (low blood oxygen levels). Talk to your doctor if you, your partner, or caregiver notice any of the following symptoms:

Pauses in breathing during sleep
Waking up at night due to shortness of breath
Difficulty staying asleep
Excessive daytime sleepiness.

Your doctor may decide to adjust your dose.

While using the patch, inform your doctor if you notice a change in your pain. If you experience:

The patch no longer relieves your pain
An increase in pain
A change in the way you feel pain (for example, pain in another part of your body)
Pain from touch that should not cause pain.

Do not change the dose on your own. Your doctor may decide to adjust the dose or change your treatment.

Adverse effects and Fentanilo Aurovitas Spain

Fentanyl may make you unusually drowsy and may cause your breathing to become slower or weaker. In rare cases, these breathing problems may be life-threatening or even fatal, especially in people who have not previously used strong opioid painkillers (such as fentanyl or morphine). If you, your partner, or caregiver notice that the person wearing the patch is unusually drowsy, with slow or weak breathing:
- Remove the patch.
- Call a doctor or go immediately to the nearest hospital.
- Keep the person moving and talking as much as possible.
If you develop a fever while using fentanyl, speak to your doctor. This may increase the amount of medicine passing through your skin.
Fentanyl may cause constipation; talk to your doctor or pharmacist for advice on how to prevent or relieve constipation.

In section 4, you can find the complete list of possible adverse effects.

While wearing the patch, do not expose it to direct heat sources such as heating pads, electric blankets, hot water bottles, heated water beds, or heat or tanning lamps. Do not sunbathe, take prolonged hot baths, or use saunas or hot tubs. Doing so may increase the amount of medicine released from the patch.

Long-term use and tolerance

This medicine contains fentanyl, an opioid. Repeated use of opioid painkillers may cause the medicine to become less effective (the body becomes accustomed to it, known as pharmacological tolerance). You may also become more sensitive to pain while using the fentanyl transdermal patch. This is known as hyperalgesia. Increasing the patch dose may continue to reduce pain for a time, but it may also be harmful. If you notice the medicine becoming less effective, consult your doctor. Your doctor will decide whether it is better to increase the dose or gradually reduce the use of the fentanyl transdermal patch.

Dependence and addiction

This medicine contains fentanyl, which is an opioid. It may cause dependence and/or addiction.

Repeated use of fentanyl may also lead to dependence, abuse, and addiction, which could result in a potentially fatal overdose. The risk of these adverse effects may be higher with higher doses and prolonged use. Dependence or addiction may cause a feeling of lack of control over the amount of medication you need to take or how often you need to take it. You may feel a need to continue using the medication even though it no longer helps relieve pain.

The risk of dependence or addiction varies from person to person. The risk of becoming dependent on or addicted to the fentanyl transdermal patch may be greater if:

You or any member of your family have abused alcohol or been dependent on alcohol, prescription medications, or illegal drugs ("addiction").
You smoke.
You have ever had mood disorders (depression, anxiety, or a personality disorder) or have received treatment from a psychiatrist for other mental illnesses.

If you notice any of the following symptoms while using the fentanyl transdermal patch, they could be signs of dependence or addiction:

You need to use the medication for longer than prescribed by your doctor.
You need to use a higher dose than recommended.
You are using the medication for reasons other than those prescribed, for example, "to stay calm" or "to help you sleep."
You have made repeated but unsuccessful attempts to stop using the medication or control its use.
You feel unwell when you stop using the medication, and you feel better once you take it again ("withdrawal effects").

If you notice any of these signs, consult your doctor to determine the best treatment approach for you, when it is appropriate to discontinue the medication, and how to do so safely.

Withdrawal symptoms when stopping Fentanilo Aurovitas Spain

Do not stop using this medication abruptly. Withdrawal symptoms such as restlessness, difficulty sleeping, irritability, agitation, anxiety, awareness of your heartbeat (palpitations), increased blood pressure, feeling sick or being sick, diarrhea, loss of appetite, tremors, chills, or sweating may occur. If you wish to stop using this medication, speak to your doctor first. Your doctor will advise you on how to do this, usually by gradually reducing the dose so that unpleasant withdrawal effects are minimized.

Other medicines and Fentanilo Aurovitas Spain

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are currently using, have recently used, or might need to use any other medicines. This includes medicines purchased without a prescription and herbal remedies. You should also inform your pharmacist that you are using fentanyl if you purchase any medication at the pharmacy.

Your doctor will know which medicines can be safely taken with fentanyl. You may need to be closely monitored if you are taking any of the types of medicines listed below or if you stop taking any of them, as this may affect the dose of fentanyl you require.

In particular, inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking:

Other pain medicines, such as other opioid analgesics (e.g., buprenorphine, nalbuphine, or pentazocine) and some analgesics for neuropathic pain (gabapentin and pregabalin).
Medicines to help you sleep (such as temazepam, zaleplon, or zolpidem).
Medicines to help calm you (tranquilizers, such as alprazolam, clonazepam, diazepam, hydroxyzine, or lorazepam) and medicines for mental disorders (antipsychotics, such as aripiprazole, haloperidol, olanzapine, risperidone, or phenothiazines).
Medicines to relax muscles (such as cyclobenzaprine or diazepam).
Certain antidepressants known as SSRIs or SNRIs (such as citalopram, duloxetine, escitalopram, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine, sertraline, or venlafaxine) – more information below.
Certain medicines used to treat depression or Parkinson's disease known as MAOIs (such as isocarboxazid, phenelzine, selegiline, or tranylcypromine). You must not use fentanyl within 14 days of stopping these medicines – more information below.
Certain antihistamines, especially those causing drowsiness (such as chlorpheniramine, clemastine, cyproheptadine, diphenhydramine, or hydroxyzine).
Certain antibiotics used to treat infections (such as erythromycin or clarithromycin).
Medicines used to treat fungal infections (such as itraconazole, ketoconazole, fluconazole, or voriconazole).
Medicines used to treat HIV infection (such as ritonavir).
Medicines used to treat irregular heartbeats (such as amiodarone, diltiazem, or verapamil).
Medicines used to treat tuberculosis (such as rifampicin).
Certain medicines used to treat epilepsy (such as carbamazepine, phenobarbital, or phenytoin).
Certain medicines used to treat nausea or dizziness (such as phenothiazines).
Certain medicines used to treat stomach acid or ulcers (such as cimetidine).
Certain medicines used to treat angina (chest pain) or high blood pressure (such as nicardipine).
Certain medicines used to treat blood cancer (such as idelalisib).

Use of fentanyl with antidepressants

The risk of adverse effects increases if you are taking medicines such as certain antidepressants. Fentanyl may interact with these medicines, and you may experience changes in mental status such as agitation, seeing, feeling, hearing, or smelling things that are not present (hallucinations), and other effects such as changes in blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, high body temperature, hyperactive reflexes, lack of coordination, muscle rigidity, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea (which could be signs of serotonin syndrome). If used together, your doctor may want to monitor you closely for these side effects, especially when starting treatment or when changing the dose of the medication.

Use with central nervous system depressants, including alcohol and certain narcotic medicines

Concomitant use of fentanyl and sedative medicines such as benzodiazepines or related medicines increases the risk of drowsiness, difficulty breathing (respiratory depression), coma, and may be life-threatening. For this reason, concomitant use should only be considered when no other treatment options are possible.

However, if your doctor prescribes fentanyl together with sedative medicines, your doctor should limit the dose and duration of concomitant treatment.

Inform your doctor of all sedative medicines you are taking, and strictly follow your doctor's dosing recommendations. It may be helpful to inform friends or family members so they are aware of the signs and symptoms mentioned above. Contact your doctor if you experience these symptoms.

Do not drink alcohol while using fentanyl unless you have discussed it with your doctor first.

Use in athletes

Athletes are advised that this medicine contains a component that may lead to a positive analytical finding in doping control tests.

Surgery

If you are scheduled to receive anesthesia, inform your doctor or dentist that you are using fentanyl.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.

Fentanyl should not be used during pregnancy unless you have discussed it with your doctor.

Fentanyl should not be used during childbirth, as the medicine may affect the newborn's breathing.

Prolonged use of fentanyl during pregnancy may cause withdrawal symptoms (such as high-pitched crying, restlessness, seizures, poor feeding, and diarrhea) in your newborn baby, which could be potentially fatal if not recognized and treated. Speak to your doctor immediately if you think your baby may have withdrawal symptoms.

Do not use fentanyl if you are breastfeeding. You must not breastfeed for 3 days after removing the fentanyl patch. This is because the medicine can pass into breast milk.

Driving and using machines

Fentanyl may affect your ability to drive and operate machinery or tools, as it may cause drowsiness or dizziness. If this occurs, do not drive or operate tools or machinery. Do not drive while using this medicine until you know how it affects you.

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any doubts about whether it is safe for you to drive while using this medicine.

3. How to use Fentanilo Aurovitas Spain

Follow exactly the instructions for using this medicine as given by your doctor. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

Before starting treatment and regularly during treatment, your doctor will also explain to you what to expect from using the fentanyl transdermal patch, when and for how long you should use it, when you should contact your doctor, and when you should stop using it (see also section 2, "Withdrawal syndrome when stopping treatment with Fentanilo Aurovitas Spain").

Your doctor will decide which dose of fentanyl is most suitable for you, taking into account the intensity of your pain, your general condition, and the type of pain treatment you have been receiving up to now.

How to apply and change the patches

Each patch contains enough medicine for 3 days (72 hours).
You must change the patch every three days, unless your doctor has instructed you otherwise.
Always remove the used patch before applying a new one.
Always change the patch at the same time of day every 3 days (72 hours).

Where to Apply the Patch

Adults

Apply the patch to a flat area of the trunk or upper arm (never over a joint).

Children

Always apply the patch to the upper back to make it difficult for your child to reach or remove it.
Check periodically to ensure the patch remains adhered to the skin.
It is important that the child does not remove the patch and put it in their mouth, as this could be life-threatening or fatal.
Closely monitor your child for 48 hours after:
Applying the first patch.
Applying a patch with a higher dose.
The patch may take some time to reach its full effect. Therefore, your child may need additional painkillers until the patch becomes effective. Your doctor will explain this to you.

Adults and Children:

Do not apply the patch to

The same site twice in a row.
Areas that move a lot (joints), irritated skin, or skin with wounds.
Areas of skin with excessive hair. If hair is present, do not shave it (shaving may irritate the skin). Instead, cut the hair as close to the skin as possible.

How to Apply the Patch

Step 1: Prepare the Skin

Before applying the patch, ensure the skin is completely dry, clean, and cool.
If you need to wash the skin, use only cold water.
Do not use soap or other cleansers, creams, moisturizers, oils, or talcum powder before applying the patch.
Do not apply the patch immediately after a hot bath or shower.

Step 2: Open the Pouch

Each patch is sealed in its own pouch.
To remove the fentanyl patch from the protective pouch, first bend the notch (located near the tip of the arrow on the pouch label), then carefully tear open the pouch material. If scissors are used to open the pouch, cut near the sealed edge to avoid damaging the patch inside.
Remove the patch and use it immediately.
Keep the empty pouch to dispose of the used patch later.
Use each patch only once.
Do not remove the patch from its pouch until you are ready to use it.
Check that the patch is not damaged.
Do not use the patch if it is split, cut, or otherwise damaged.
Never divide or cut the patch.

Step 3: Peel and Press

Ensure the patch will be covered by loose clothing and do not place it under tight or elastic fabric.
Carefully peel off half of the shiny plastic protective liner, starting from the center of the patch. Avoid touching the adhesive side of the patch.
Press the adhesive side of the patch onto the skin.
Remove the remaining part of the protective liner and press the entire patch onto the skin with the palm of your hand.
Hold it in place for at least 30 seconds. Ensure the patch is well adhered, especially around the edges.

Step 4: Dispose of the Patch

Immediately after removing the patch, fold it in half so that the adhesive side sticks to itself.
Place it back into the original pouch and dispose of it according to your pharmacist’s instructions.
Keep used patches out of sight and reach of children; even when used, patches contain medication that can harm children and may even be fatal.

Step 5: Washing Hands

Always wash your hands with water only after handling the patches.

How Long Do the Patches Take to Work?

The first patch may take some time to reach its full effect.
Your doctor may prescribe additional painkillers during the first few days.
Afterwards, the patch should provide continuous pain relief, allowing you to stop taking other painkillers. However, your doctor may occasionally prescribe additional painkillers.

How Long Will You Need to Use the Patches?

Fentanyl patches are indicated for long-term pain. Your doctor will inform you how long you can expect to use the patches.

If Pain Worsens

If your pain suddenly worsens after applying the last patch, check the patch. If it is no longer adhering properly or has detached, replace it (see also section If the Patch Detaches).
If your pain worsens over time while using the patches, your doctor may try patches with a higher dose or prescribe additional painkillers (or both).
If increasing the patch dose does not help, your doctor may decide to discontinue the use of patches.

If You Use Too Many Patches or a Patch with the Wrong Dose

If you have applied too many patches or a patch with the wrong dose, remove them immediately and contact your doctor or go to a hospital right away.

You may also call the Toxicology Information Service at phone number 91 562 04 20, stating the medication and the amount ingested or applied.

If You Forget to Change the Patch

If you forget to change the patch, do so as soon as you remember, and note the date and time. Then resume changing the patch every 3 days (72 hours) as usual.
If you are significantly delayed, speak to your doctor, as you may need additional painkillers, but do not apply extra patches.

If the Patch Detaches

If the patch falls off before it is time to change it, apply a new one immediately and note the date and time. Choose a new skin site:
On the trunk or arm.
On the upper back of your child.
Inform your doctor about this and keep the patch in place for another 3 days (72 hours) or for the duration specified by your doctor before changing the patch in the usual way.
If patches tend to fall off frequently, consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.

If You Want to Stop Using the Patches

Do not stop using this medication abruptly. If you wish to discontinue using this medication, speak to your doctor first. Your doctor will advise you on how to do so, usually by gradually reducing the dose to minimize unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. See also section 2, “Withdrawal Symptoms When Stopping Fentanilo Aurovitas Spain”.
