  1. Fentanyl is a lipophilic Opioid that is hundred times as strong as morphine.
  2. In the IV form Fentanyl is often used in ICUs for pain control due to its rapid onset of action and due to the minimal histamine release associated with fentanyl in comparison to morphine.
  3. Fentanyl is also available as a sustained release transdermal patch which when applied to a fleshy (non-bony) region of the body functions as a basal pain medication for 72 hours. The fentanyl in the patch diffuses through the skin and depots in the adipose tissue and provides sustained pain relief. Very hairy skin may need to be shaved locally before applying the patch.
  4. The efficacy of absorption of the fentanyl is dependant on the skin temperature and the availability of adequate adipose tissue. Therefore some patients who are cachetic or hypothermic may not get adequate pain relief. In contrast patients who are febrile may absorb more of the medication thus necessitating either a dose decrease (if they are experiencing undue side effects) or a need for the patch to be changed as often as every 48 hours.
  5. Therapeutic blood levels are not reached for 13-24 hours after patch application. So when converting from an oral Opioid, remember to have enough prn opioids available for breakthrough analgesia during the window between stopping the oral medication and the interval of time for the fentanyl to reach therapeutic blood levels
  6. The recommended upward dose titration interval is every 72 hours. Doses should be increased or decreased by 25-50% of the current 24-hour dose.
  7. The fentanyl will continue to be effective for 13-24 hours after the patch is removed (as a part of the drug is already depot in the adipose tissue).

A reduction of 10 to 25 percent of fentanyl doses per week may prove to be effective. Reductions of 50 percent are not out the question for some cases. But, no matter the taper amount, it is not advised to cut open fentanyl patches without a doctor’s consent. Some patches have the ability to release all the medication at once if tampered with. We present a case of IV fentanyl abuse after the extraction from a Mylan (matrix type) patch. This method of abuse has not previously been described in the literature. Fentanyl is an opioid analgesic with predominant mu‐opioid receptor agonism which is used for the treatment of acute and chronic pain. Fentanyl patches PHARMAC is to widen access to subsidised fentanyl patches in 2009, via listing a new brand of patches without the requirement for Special Authority (subject to Medsafe registration of the new brand of patch). This will mean that GPs will be able to prescribe funded fentanyl patches for their patients.
