If the patch sticks to another person
The patch must be used only 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 the other 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 attention.
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 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 you have any of the above conditions (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 fentanilo may 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 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
-
Fentanilo may cause unusual drowsiness and may slow 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 fentanilo 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 fentanilo, speak with your doctor. Fever may increase the amount of medication passing through your skin.
-
Fentanilo 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 could increase the amount of medication released from the patch.
Long-term use and tolerance
This medicine contains fentanilo, 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 is losing effectiveness, 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 medication 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 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 the need to continue using the medication even though it does not help relieve 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 higher 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 (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, it 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 unsuccessful attempts to stop using the medication or to 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, nausea or vomiting, 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 so, 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 therapy, 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 medicine.
This includes over-the-counter medications and herbal remedies. You should also inform your pharmacist that you are taking fentanilo if you purchase any medication at the pharmacy.
Your doctor will know which medications can be safely used with fentanilo. You may need to be closely monitored if you are taking any of the types of medications listed below or if you stop taking any of them, as this may affect the dose of fentanilo you require.
In particular, inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking:
- Other pain medications, such as other opioid analgesics (e.g., buprenorphine, nalbuphine, or pentazocine) and some analgesics for neuropathic pain (gabapentin and pregabalin).
- Medications to help you sleep (such as temazepam, zaleplon, or zolpidem).
- Medications to help you relax (tranquilizers, such as alprazolam, clonazepam, diazepam, hydroxyzine, or lorazepam) and medications for mental disorders (antipsychotics, such as aripiprazole, haloperidol, olanzapine, risperidone, or phenothiazines).
- Medications to relax muscles (such as cyclobenzaprine or diazepam).
- Some antidepressant medications known as SSRIs or SNRIs (such as citalopram, duloxetine, escitalopram, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine, sertraline, or venlafaxine). – more information below.
- Some medications used to treat depression or Parkinson's disease known as MAOIs (such as isocarboxazid, phenelzine, selegiline, or tranylcypromine). You must not use fentanilo within 14 days of stopping these medications. – more information below.
- Some antihistamines, especially those causing drowsiness (such as chlorpheniramine, clemastine, cyproheptadine, diphenhydramine, or hydroxyzine).
- Some antibiotics used to treat infections (such as erythromycin or clarithromycin).
- Medications used to treat fungal infections (such as itraconazole, ketoconazole, fluconazole, or voriconazole).
- Medications used to treat HIV infection (such as ritonavir).
- Medications used to treat irregular heartbeats (such as amiodarone, diltiazem, or verapamil).
- Medications used to treat tuberculosis (such as rifampicin).
- Some medications used to treat epilepsy (such as carbamazepine, phenobarbital, or phenytoin).
- Some medications used to treat nausea or dizziness (such as phenothiazines).
- Some medications used to treat stomach acid or ulcers (such as cimetidine).
- Some medications used to treat angina (chest pain) or high blood pressure (such as nicardipine).
- Some medications 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 medications such as certain antidepressants. Fentanilo may interact with these medications, 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 need to monitor you closely for these side effects, especially when starting treatment or when the dose of medication 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 recognize 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 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 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 the 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 should not breastfeed for 3 days after removing the fentanyl patch. This is because the medicine can pass into breast milk.
Driving and using machines
Ask your doctor whether you can 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 sleepy, dizzy, have blurred or double vision, or have difficulty concentrating. Exercise particular caution at the beginning of treatment, after a dose increase, after a change in formulation, and/or when taking other medicines concomitantly.
3. How to use fentanilo matrix cinfa
