http://www.drugs.com/xq/cfm/pageID_0/htm_D00233A1.htm/bn_Duragesic/qx/index.htm

******************************************************

Duragesic®, Fentanyl Transdermal System, Janssen.com:"Duragesic® (fentanyl transdermal system) is the only medication that uses a transdermal (through-the-skin) patch to deliver a potent pain reliever for around-the-clock control. Each application of the patch -- which is available by prescription only -- can control moderate to severe chronic pain for up to 72 hours (three days). This allows patients to lead more normal lives, by simplifying their therapy and avoiding the need for clock watching."
http://us.janssen.com/consumer/duragesic_profile.html

******************************************************

Fentanyl (Transdermal-Systemic), Description, MEDLINEplus:"Fentanyl ( FEN-ta-nil) belongs to the group of medicines called narcotic analgesics (nar-KOT-ik an-al-GEE-ziks ) . Narcotic analgesics are used to relieve pain. The transdermal system (skin patch) form of fentanyl is used to treat chronic pain (pain that continues for a long time)."
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/uspdi/202702.html

******************************************************

Fentanyl Transdermal System, Uses, Nurses PDR:"Restrict use for the management of severe chronic pain that cannot be managed with less powerful drugs. Only use 50, 75, and 100 mcg/hr doses on clients already on and tolerant to narcotic analgesics and who require continuous narcotic administration."
http://www.nursespdr.com/members/database/ndrhtml/fentanyltransdermalsystem.html

******************************************************

Fentanyl (transdermal), Indications, RXlist:"DURAGESIC® (fentanyl transdermal system) is indicated in the management of chronic pain in patients who require continuous opioid analgesia for pain that cannot be managed by lesser means such as acetaminophen-opioid combinations, non-steroidal analgesics, or PRN dosing with short-acting opioids."
http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic2/fentanyl_ids.htm

******************************************************

DURAGESIC®, Action And Clinical Pharmacology, RxMed.com:" Fentanyl is an opioid analgesic which interacts predominantly with the µ-opioid receptor. Fentanyl produces analgesia, sedation, respiratory depression, constipation, and physical dependence but appears to have less emetic activity than other opioid analgesics. Fentanyl may produce muscle rigidity, miosis, cough reflex suppression, alterations in mood, bradycardia and broncho-constriction."

******************************************************

Fentanyl, Duragesic®, Texas Cancer Online:"Do not use this medicine for pain that will go away in a few days such as pain from surgery, doctor or dentist visits or any other short-lasting pain. Once the patch is applied, the medicine is slowly absorbed through your skin into the bloodstream to help control your pain. Fentanyl skin patches are for external use only."
