If the patch sticks to another person
The patch must only be used on the skin of the person for whom the doctor has prescribed it. There have been some reported cases in which the patch has accidentally adhered to another family member through close physical contact or by sharing the same bed with the person wearing the patch. If the patch accidentally sticks to another person (particularly a child), the medication from the patch may pass through that person's skin and may cause serious adverse effects, such as difficulty breathing, slow or weak breathing, which could be fatal. If the patch adheres to another person’s skin, remove it immediately and seek medical help.
Take special care with fentanilo matrix cinfa
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine if you are in any of the following situations. Your doctor may 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 fentanilo.
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 (e.g., pain in another part of your body)
- Pain triggered by 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 matrix cinfa
-
Fentanyl may cause unusual drowsiness and may slow down or weaken your breathing. In very 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 immediately.
-
Call a doctor or go to the nearest hospital right away.
-
Keep the person moving and talking as much as possible.
-
If you develop a fever while using fentanyl, speak with your doctor. Fever may increase the amount of medication passing through your skin.
-
Fentanyl may cause constipation; speak with 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. Avoid prolonged sun exposure, hot baths, saunas, or hot tubs. Doing so may increase the amount of medication released from the patch.
Long-term use and tolerance
This medicine contains fentanyl, an opioid. Repeated use of opioid painkillers may cause the drug to become less effective (the body becomes accustomed to it, known as pharmacological tolerance). You may also become more sensitive to pain while using fentanilo matrix cinfa. 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 fentanilo matrix cinfa.
Dependence and addiction
This medicine contains fentanyl, which is an opioid. It may cause dependence and/or addiction. |
Repeated use of fentanilo matrix cinfa 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 losing 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 if it no longer helps relieve your pain.
The risk of dependence or addiction varies from person to person. The risk of becoming dependent on or addicted to fentanilo matrix cinfa may be greater if:
- You or any member of your family have abused alcohol or experienced dependence on alcohol, prescription medications, or illegal drugs ("addiction").
- You smoke.
- You have ever had mood disorders (such as 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 fentanilo matrix cinfa, this could be a sign 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 matrix cinfa
Do not stop this medication abruptly. Withdrawal symptoms may occur, 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. If you wish to stop using this medication, speak with your doctor first. Your doctor will advise you on how to do this, usually by gradually reducing the dose to minimize unpleasant withdrawal effects.
Children
Fentanilo is used in children over 2 years of age who are opioid-tolerant, already receiving opioid medication, and who require continuous pain treatment.
Other medicines and fentanilo matrix cinfa
Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are currently using, have recently used, or might need to use any other medicines.
This includes over-the-counter medicines and herbal products. You should also inform your pharmacist that you are using fentanilo if you purchase any medicine from the pharmacy.
Your doctor will know which medicines can be safely used with fentanilo. They may need to monitor you closely if you are using any of the types of medicines listed below or if you stop using any of them, as this may affect the dose of fentanilo you require.
In particular, inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are using:
- 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 you calm down (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).
- Some antidepressants known as SSRIs or SNRIs (such as citalopram, duloxetine, escitalopram, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine, sertraline, or venlafaxine). – more information below.
- Some medicines used to treat depression or Parkinson's disease called MAOIs (such as isocarboxazid, phenelzine, selegiline, or tranylcypromine). You must not use fentanilo within 14 days of stopping these medicines. – more information below.
- Some antihistamines, especially those that cause drowsiness (such as chlorpheniramine, clemastine, cyproheptadine, diphenhydramine, or hydroxyzine).
- Some 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).
- Some medicines used to treat epilepsy (such as carbamazepine, phenobarbital, or phenytoin).
- Some medicines used to treat nausea or dizziness (such as phenothiazines).
- Some medicines used to treat indigestion or ulcers (such as cimetidine).
- Some medicines used to treat angina (chest pain) or high blood pressure (such as nicardipine).
- Some medicines used to treat blood cancer (such as idelalisib).
Use of fentanilo matrix cinfa with antidepressants
The risk of adverse effects increases if you are taking medicines such as certain antidepressants. Fentanilo may interact with these medicines, and you may experience changes in mental state 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 the dose of the medicine is changed.
Use with central nervous system depressants, including alcohol and certain narcotic medicines
Concomitant use of fentanyl and sedative medicines such as benzodiazepines or related drugs increases the risk of drowsiness, breathing difficulties (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 result in a positive analytical finding in doping controls.
Surgery
If you expect 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 labor, 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 the newborn baby, which can be potentially fatal if not recognized and treated. Speak to your doctor immediately if you think your baby may be experiencing withdrawal symptoms.
Do not use fentanyl while breastfeeding. You must not breastfeed for 3 days after removing the fentanyl patch, as the medicine can pass into breast milk.
Driving and using machines
Ask your doctor whether you are allowed to drive or operate machinery while being treated with fentanyl. It is important to observe how this medicine affects you before driving or operating machinery. Do not drive or operate machinery if you feel drowsy, dizzy, have blurred or double vision, or have difficulty concentrating. Exercise particular caution at the start of treatment, after a dose increase, when switching formulations, and/or when taking other medicines concomitantly.
3. How to use fentanilo matrix cinfa
Before starting treatment and regularly during treatment, your doctor will also explain to you what to expect from using fentanilo matrix cinfa, 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 symptoms when stopping fentanilo matrix cinfa").
Always follow exactly the instructions for using this medicine as given by your doctor or pharmacist. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

Where to apply the patch
Adults
- Apply the patch to a flat area of the trunk or arm (never over a joint).
Children
-
Always apply the patch to the upper back so that your child has difficulty reaching or removing it.
-
Check regularly that the patch remains attached to the skin.
-
It is important that the child does not remove the patch and put it in their mouth, as this could endanger their life or be fatal.
-
Keep your child under close observation 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.
- hairy skin areas. If there is hair, do not shave it (shaving irritates 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.
- Open the pouch by tearing or cutting along the notch indicated by an arrow.
- Gently tear or completely cut along the edge of the pouch (if using scissors, cut close to the sealed edge to avoid damaging the patch).
- Hold the two parts of the opened pouch and pull them apart.
- 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
- Make sure the patch will be covered by loose clothing and do not apply it under tight or elastic fabric.
- Carefully peel off half of the shiny plastic protective layer, starting from the center of the patch. Avoid touching the adhesive side of the patch.
- Press this adhesive part of the patch onto the skin.
- Remove the other half of the protective layer and press the entire patch onto the skin with the palm of your hand.
- Hold pressure for at least 30 seconds. Ensure the patch is well adhered, especially around the edges.
Step 4: Disposing 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 could harm children and even be fatal.
Step 5: Washing hands
