Abstral (Fentanyl) 800mg Online
Abstral (Fentanyl) is a pain reliever. It is used to treat breakthrough cancer pain that your long-acting pain medicine does not control. Abstral sublingual tablets are indicated for the management of breakthrough pain in cancer patients 18 years of age and older who are already receiving and who are tolerant to opioid therapy for their underlying persistent cancer pain. Patients considered opioid-tolerant are those who are taking around-the-clock medicine consisting of at least 60 mg of oral morphine daily or at least 25 mcg of transdermal Abstral/hour, or at least 30 mg of oral oxycodone daily, or at least 8 mg of oral hydromorphone daily or at least 25 mg oral oxymorphone daily, or an equianalgesic dose of another opioid medication daily for a week or longer. Patients must remain on around-the-clock opioids when taking Abstral.
Abstral is contraindicated for patients who are not already tolerant to opioids because life-threatening respiratory depression and death could result at any dose in patients, not on a chronic regimen of opioids. For this reason, ABSTRAL is contraindicated in the management of acute or postoperative pain, including headache/migraine, dental pain, or use in the emergency room. Your doctor will probably start you on a low dose of fentanyl and gradually increase your dose until you find the dose that will relieve your breakthrough pain. If you still have pain 30 minutes after using fentanyl, your doctor may tell you to use another pain medication to relieve that pain and may increase your dose of fentanyl to treat your next episode of pain. Talk to your doctor about how well the medication is working and whether you are experiencing any side effects so that your doctor can decide whether your dose should be adjusted.
