ABSTRACT In recent years, opioid therapy for the management of chronic noncancer pain has become more widely accepted following the publication of data demonstrating the efficacy of this class of drugs in a variety of pain conditions, including osteoarthritis, neuropathic pain, and low back pain.

Your doctor will monitor you closely for signs of opioid use disorder and to figure out when you no longer need to take opioids. Make a treatment plan.
The goal of your plan is to be able to function and do the things you need to do, even if you still have some pain. You might be able to manage your pain with other non-opioid options like physical therapy, relaxation, or over-the-counter pain medicines. Be aware of the side effects. Opioids can cause serious side effects, such as constipation, dry mouth, and nausea.
And over time, you may need a higher dose to get pain relief. This is called tolerance. Your body also gets used to opioids. This is called physical dependence. If you suddenly stop taking them, you may have withdrawal symptoms. Examples of long-acting opioids Fentanyl patch Duragesic Methadone Dolophine Morphine Kadian Oxycodone controlled-release OxyContin Safety tips when using long-acting opioids If you need to take opioids to manage your pain, remember these safety tips.
Follow directions carefully. It's easy to misuse opioids if you take a dose other than what's prescribed by your doctor. This can lead to overdose and even death. Even sharing them with someone they weren't meant for is misuse. Be cautious. Opioids may affect your judgment and decision making.
Do not drive or operate machinery until you can think clearly. Talk with your doctor about when it is safe to drive. Reduce the risk of drug interactions. Opioids can be dangerous if you take them with alcohol or with certain drugs like sleeping pills and muscle relaxers. Make sure your doctor knows about all the other medicines you take, including over-the-counter medicines. Don't start any new medicines before you talk to your doctor or pharmacist. Safely store and dispose of opioids.
Store opioids in a safe and secure place. For the treatment of these painful breakthrough pain episodes, rapid onset opioids are required. Fentanyl is a synthetic phenylpiperidine that is roughly 80 times more potent than morphine.
It is highly lipophilic and binds avidly to plasma proteins. Fentanyl has an n-octanol:water partition coefficient at pH 7. Clinicians should initiate therapy with the lowest dose available, mcg if possible; and should attempt to only use a maximum of two doses per breakthrough pain episode and preferably no more than 4 breakthrough pain episodes per day. Administration of the lozenge takes approximately 15 min OTFC was approved in Europe for the same indication in The oral mucosal route of delivery offers some advantages.
The oral mucosa is highly permeable, 20 times more than skin; and highly vascularized. The efficacy of OTFC has been compared against placebo in a multicenter, double-blind, randomized study of opioidtolerant patients with cancer and BTP Significant differences between OTFC and placebo were also evident in terms of global performance mean scores 1. Across the clinical studies of OTFC, reported adverse effects were typical of opioids and included somnolence, nausea, and dizziness 12 - Hallucinations and confusion relating to the use of OTFC have also been reported in clinical studies of this formulation Dissolution takes 14—25 min with FBT and does not require active participation from the patient The resultant decrease in pH optimizes tablet dissolution.
FBT then releases sodium carbonate to increase the pH in order to increase permeation of fentanyl through the buccal mucosa 17 , The buccal pH changes orchestrated by this effervescence reaction result in a greater proportion of fentanyl being absorbed transmucosally instead of being swallowed and absorbed by the slower gastrointestinal route.
After FBT administration, fentanyl was rapidly absorbed in a dose-dependent fashion, with Tmax ranging from 20 minutes to 4 hours postdose. FBT has been shown to confer statistically and clinically significant improvements in the treatment of BTP in patients with cancer and noncancer pain in five placebo-controlled studies 22 - In brief, compared with placebo, FBT demonstrated significant reductions in SPID 60 and PID from 10 min, significant increases in pain relief from 10 min, lower rates of rescue medication use, significantly greater medication performance assessment scores, and moderate and substantial clinically relevant improvements in pain intensity from 5 and 15 min, respectively 22 - No unexpected safety or tolerability concerns have been noted with FBT.
The most common adverse events were nausea, dizziness, and vomiting In an month safety analysis that included patients with chronic noncancer pain and BTP, patients were exposed to a median of range days of treatment with FBT in order to treat a median of range episodes of BTP Adverse events experienced with FBT were typical of opioids and decreased in incidence over time. It was approved in the USA in for BTP in adults with cancer who are receiving and who are tolerant of opioid analgesics for chronic cancer pain.
In this way, the FBSF minimizes the quantity of fentanyl that is swallowed in the saliva and which is consequently lost during first-pass metabolism
