6. Contents of the pack and other information

• You are allergic to fentanyl or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
• You suffer from pain which lasts only for a short period, such as sudden pain or pain after having an operation
• You have breathing difficulties, with slow or shallow breathing

Do not use this medicine if any of the above apply to you or your child. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Opiodur^®.

• Opiodur^® can have life-threatening side effects in people who are not already regularly using prescribed opioid medicines.
• Opiodur^® is a medicine that could be life-threatening to children, even if the patches have been used. Bear in mind that a sticky patch (unused or used) could be tempting to a child and if it sticks to a child’s skin or they put it in their mouth, the result may be fatal.
• Store this medicine in a safe and secure place, where other people cannot access it - see section 5 for more information.

• are or have ever been addicted to opioids, alcohol, prescription medicines, or illegal drugs.
• have previously suffered from withdrawal symptoms such as agitation, anxiety, shaking or sweating, when you have stopped taking alcohol or drugs.
• feel you need to use more Opiodur^® patches to get the same level of pain relief, this may mean you are becoming tolerant to the effects of this medicine or are becoming addicted to it. Speak to your prescriber who will discuss your treatment and may change your dose or switch you to an alternative pain reliever.

Using this medicine regularly, particularly for a long time, can lead to addiction. Your prescriber should have explained how long you will be using it for and when it is appropriate to stop, how to do this safely.

Rarely, increasing the dose of this medicine can make you more sensitive to pain. If this happens, you need to speak to your prescriber about your treatment.

Addiction can cause withdrawal symptoms when you stop using this medicine. Withdrawal symptoms can include restlessness, difficulty sleeping, irritability, agitation, anxiety, feeling your heartbeat (palpitations), increased blood pressure, feeling or being sick, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, shaking, shivering or sweating. Your prescriber will discuss with you how to gradually reduce your dose before stopping the medicine.

It is important that you do not stop using the medicine suddenly as you will be more likely to experience withdrawal symptoms.

Opioids should only be used by those they are prescribed for. Do not give your medicine to anyone else. Taking higher doses or more frequent doses of opioid, may increase the risk of addiction. Overuse and misuse can lead to overdose and/or death.

The patch should be used only on the skin of the person for whom it has been prescribed.

There have been reports of patches accidentally sticking to a family member while in close physical contact or sharing the same bed as the patch wearer. A patch accidently sticking to another person (particularly a child) can cause the medicine in the patch to go through the skin of the other person and cause serious side effects such as breathing difficulties, with slow or shallow breathing which may be fatal. In case the patch sticks to the skin of another person, take the patch off immediately and seek medical attention.

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine if any of the following apply to you – your doctor may need to check you more closely if:

• You have ever had problems with your lungs or breathing
• You have ever had problems with your heart, liver, kidneys, or low blood pressure
• You have ever had a brain tumour
• You have ever had persistent headaches or a head injury
• You are elderly – you may be more sensitive to the effects of this medicine
• You have a condition called ‘myasthenia gravis’ in which muscles become weak and tire easily.

If any of the above apply to you (or you are not sure), talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Opiodur^®.

While using the patch, tell your doctor if you have breathing problems while sleeping. Opioids like Opiodur^® can cause sleep-related breathing disorders such as sleep apnoea (breathing pauses during sleep) and sleep-related hypoxaemia (low oxygen level in the blood). Tell your doctor if you, your partner or carer notice you have any of the following:

• breathing pauses during sleep
• night awakening due to shortness of breath
• difficulties staying asleep
• excessive drowsiness during the day.

Your doctor may decide to change your dose.

While using the patch, tell your doctor if you notice a change in the pain you are feeling. If you feel:

• your pain is no longer relieved by the patch
• an increase in pain
• there is a change in how you feel the pain (for example, you feel pain in another part of your body)
• pain when something touches your body that you wouldn’t expect to hurt you.

Do not change the dose yourself. Your doctor may decide to change your dose or treatment.

• Opiodur^® may make you unusually drowsy, and make your breathing more slow or shallow. Very rarely these breathing problems can be life-threatening or even fatal, especially in people who have not used strong opioid painkillers (like Opiodur® or morphine) before. If you, or your partner or carer, notice that the person wearing the patch is unusually drowsy, with slow or shallow breathing:
  • Take the patch off
  • Call a doctor, or go to your nearest hospital, straight away
  • Keep the person moving and talking as much as possible
• If you get a fever while using Opiodur^®, tell your doctor - this may increase the amount of medicine that passes through your skin
• Opiodur^® may cause constipation, talk to your doctor or pharmacist for advice on how to prevent or relieve constipation.
  See section 4 for a full list of possible side effects.

When you are wearing the patch do not expose it to direct heat such as heating pads, electric blankets, hot-water bottles, heated water beds or heat or tanning lamps. Do not sunbathe, have long hot baths or saunas or use hot whirlpool spa baths. If you do, you may increase the amount of medicine you get from the patch.

This medicine contains fentanyl which is an opioid medicine. Repeated use of opioid painkillers can result in the drug being less effective (you become accustomed to it, known as drug tolerance). You may also become more sensitive to pain while using Opiodur^®. This is known as hyperalgesia. Increasing the dose of your patches may help to further reduce your pain for a while, but it may also be harmful. If you notice that your medicine becomes less effective, talk to your doctor. Your doctor will decide whether it is better for you to increase the dose or to gradually decrease your use of Opiodur^®.

Repeated use of Opiodur^® can also lead to dependence, abuse and addiction which may result in life-threatening overdose. The risk of these side effects can increase with a higher dose and longer duration of use. Dependence or addiction can make you feel that you are no longer in control of how much medicine you need to use or how often you need to use it. You might feel that you need to carry on using your medicine, even when it doesn’t help to relieve your pain.

The risk of becoming dependent or addicted varies from person to person. You may have a greater risk of becoming dependent or addicted on Opiodur^® if:

• You or anyone in your family have ever abused or been dependent on alcohol, prescription medicines or illegal drugs (“addiction”).
• You are a smoker.
• You have ever had problems with your mood (depression, anxiety or a personality disorder) or have been treated by a psychiatrist for other mental illness.

If you notice any of the following signs whilst using Opiodur^®, it could be a sign that you have become dependent or addicted.

• You need to use the medicine for longer than advised by your doctor
• You need to use more than the recommended dose
• You are using the medicine for reasons other than prescribed, for instance, ‘to stay calm’ or ‘help you sleep’
• You have made repeated, unsuccessful attempts to quit or control the use of the medicine
• When you stop taking the medicine you feel unwell, and you feel better once using the medicine again (‘withdrawal effects’)

If you notice any of these signs, speak to your doctor to discuss the best treatment pathway for you, including when it is appropriate to stop and how to stop safely.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken or might take any other medicines. This includes medicines that you buy without a prescription or herbal medicines. You should also tell your pharmacist that you are using Opiodur^® if you buy any medicine from your pharmacy.

Your doctor will know which medicines are safe with Opiodur^®. You may need to be closely monitored if you are taking some of the types of medicines listed below, or if you stop taking some of the types of medicines listed below, as this may affect the strength of Opiodur^® you need.

In particular, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking:

• Other medicines for pain, such as other opioid painkillers (such as buprenorphine, nalbuphine or pentazocine) and some painkillers for nerve pain (gabapentin and pregabalin).
• Medicines for helping you sleep (such as temazepam, zaleplon, or zolpidem).
• Medicines to help you calm down (tranquillisers, such as alprazolam, clonazepam, diazepam, hydroxyzine, or lorazepam) and medicines for mental conditions (anti-psychotics, such as aripiprazole, haloperidol, olanzapione, risperidone, or phenothiazines).
• Medicines for relaxing your muscles (such as cyclobenzaprine or diazepam).
• Some medicines used to treat depression called SSRIs or SNRIs (such as citalopram, duloxetine escitalopram, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine, sertraline, venlafaxine) - see below for more information.
• Some medicines used to treat depression or Parkinson’s disease called MAOIs (such as isocarboxazid, phenezine, selegiline, or tranylcypromine). You should not use Opiodur^® within 14 days of stopping these medicines- see below for more information.
• Some antihistamines, especially ones that make you sleepy (such as chlorpheniramine, clemastine, cyproheptadine, diphenhydramine, or hydroxyzine).
• Some antibiotics used to treat infection (such as erythromycin or clarithromycin).
• Medicines used to treat fungal infection (such as itraconazole, ketoconazole, fluconazole or voriconazole).
• Medicines used to treat HIV infection (such as ritonavir).
• Medicines used to treat an irregular heartbeat (such as amiodarone, diltiazem or verapamil).
• Medicines used to treat tuberculosis (such as rifampicin).
• Some medicines used to treat nausea or motion sickness (such as phenothiazines).
• Some medicines used to treat heartburn or ulcers (such as cimetidine).
• Some medicines used to treat angina (chest pain) or high blood pressure (such as nicardipine)
• Some medicines used to treat cancer of the blood (such as idelalisib).

The risk of side effects increases if you are taking medicines such as certain antidepressants. Opiodur^® may interact with these medicines and you may experience changes to mental status such as feeling agitated, seeing, feeling, hearing, or smelling things that are not there (hallucinations) and other effects such as changing blood pressure, fast heartbeat, high body temperature, overactive reflexes, lack of coordination, muscle stiffness, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea - (these could be signs of Serotonin Syndrome). If used together, your doctor may want to closely monitor your for such sides effects in particular when starting treatment or when the dose of your medicine is changed.

Concomitant use of Opiodur^® and sedative medicines such as benzodiazepines or related drugs increases the risk of drowsiness, difficulties in breathing (respiratory depression), coma and may be life-threatening. Because of this, concomitant use should only be considered when other treatment options are not possible.

However, if your doctor does prescribe Opiodur^® together with sedative medicines the dose and duration of concomitant treatment should be limited by your doctor.

Please tell your doctor about all sedative medicines you are taking, and follow your doctor’s dose recommendation closely. It could be helpful to inform friends or relatives to be aware of the signs and symptoms stated above. Contact your doctor when experiencing such symptoms.

Do not drink alcohol while using Opiodur^® unless you have talked to your doctor first.

If you think that you are going to receive anaesthesia tell your doctor or dentist that you are using Opiodur^®.

Do not use Opiodur^® if you are pregnant or think you might be pregnant unless you have discussed this with your doctor and the benefits of treatment are considered to outweigh the potential harm to the baby.

If you use Opiodur^® during pregnancy, your baby may become dependent and experience withdrawal symptoms after the birth which may need to be treated.

Do not use Opiodur^® while you are breastfeeding as fentanyl passes into breast milk and will affect your baby.

Opiodur^® can affect your ability to drive and use machines or tools as it may make you sleepy or dizzy. If this happens, do not drive or use tools or machines. Do not drive while taking this medicine until you know how it affects you. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure whether it is safe for you to drive while taking this medicine.

• There is enough medicine in each patch to last 3 days (72 hours).
• You should change your patch every third day, unless your doctor has told you differently.
• Always remove the old patch before applying a new one.
• Always change your patch at the same time of day every 3 days (72 hours).

Tuesday → Friday

Wednesday → Saturday

Thursday → Sunday

Friday → Monday

Saturday → Tuesday

Sunday → Wednesday

Adults

• Apply the patch on a flat part of your upper body or arm (not over a joint).

Children

• Always apply the patch to the upper back to make it difficult for your child to reach it or take it off.
• Every so often check that the patch remains stuck to the skin.
• It is important that your child does not remove the patch and put it in their mouth as this could be life-threatening or even fatal.
• Watch your child very closely for 48 hours after:
  • The first patch has been put on
  • A higher dose patch has been put on.
• It may take some time for the patch to have its maximum effect. Therefore, your child might need to use other painkillers as well until the patches become effective. Your doctor will talk to you about this.

Adults and Children:

Do not apply the patch on:

• The same place twice in a row.
• Areas that you move a lot (joints), skin that is irritated or with cuts.
• Skin that is very hairy. If there is hair, do not shave it (shaving irritates the skin). Instead clip the hair as close to the skin as possible.

Step 1: Preparing the skin

• Make sure your skin is completely clean, dry and cool before you put the patch on.
• If you need to clean the skin, just use cold water.
• Do not use soap or any other cleansers, creams, moisturisers, oils or talc before applying the patch.
• Do not stick a patch on straight after a hot bath or shower.

Step 2: Open the sachet

• Each patch is sealed in its own sachet
• Tear or cut open the sachet at the notch or as shown by the arrow
• Gently tear or cut off the edge of the sachet completely (if you use scissors, cut close to the sealed edge of the sachet to avoid damaging the patch)

• Grasp both sides of the opened sachet and pull apart
• Take the patch out and use straight away
• Keep the empty sachet to dispose of the used patch later
• Use each patch once only
• Do not take the patch out of its sachet until you are ready to use it
• Inspect the patch for any damage
• Do not use the patch if it has been divided, cut or looks damaged
• Never divide or cut the patches.

Step 3: Peel and press

• Make sure that the patch will be covered by loose clothing and not stuck under a tight or elasticated band.
• Remove the shiny plastic backing, which covers the printed side of the patch
• Carefully peel off one corner of the patch from the shiny plastic backing which covers the sticky side of the patch. Try not to touch the sticky side of the patch.
• Press this sticky part of the patch onto the skin with the palm of your hand.
• Hold for at least 30 seconds. Make sure it sticks well, especially the edges.

Step 4: Disposing of the patch

• As soon as you take a patch off, fold it firmly in half so that the sticky side sticks to itself.
• Put it back in its original sachet and dispose of the sachet as instructed by your pharmacist.
• Keep used patches out of sight and reach of children - even used patches contain some medicine which may harm children and may even be fatal.

Step 5: Wash

Always wash your hands after you have handled the patch using clean water only.

Everyday activities while using the patches

• The patches are waterproof
• You can shower or bathe while wearing a patch, but do not scrub the patch itself
• If your doctor agrees you can exercise or play sport while wearing the patch
• You can also swim while wearing the patch, but:
  • Don’t use hot whirlpool spa baths
  • Don’t put a tight or elasticated band over the patch
• While you are wearing the patch do not expose it in direct heat such as heating pads, electric blankets, hot-water bottles, heated water beds, heat or tanning lamps. Do not sunbathe, have long hot baths or saunas. If you do, you may increase the amount of medicine you get from the patch.

How quickly will the patches work?

• It may take time for your first patch to have its maximum effect.
• Your doctor may give you other painkillers as well for the first day or so.
• After this, the patch should help to relieve pain continuously so that you can stop taking other painkillers.
• However, your doctor may still prescribe extra painkillers from time to time.

How long will you use the patches for?

• Opiodur^® patches are for long-term pain. Your doctor will be able to tell you how long you can expect to use the patches

If your pain gets worse

• If your pain suddenly gets worse after placing of your last patch you should check your patch. If it is no longer sticking well or has fallen off you should replace the patch (see also section ‘If a patch falls off’)
• If your pain gets worse over time while you are using these patches, your doctor may try a higher strength patch, or give you additional painkillers (or both)
• If increasing the strength of the patch does not help, your doctor may decide to stop the use of the patches.

If you have stuck on too many patches or the wrong strength patch, take the patches off and contact a doctor or the nearest hospital straight away.

Signs of overdose include trouble breathing or shallow breathing, tiredness, extreme sleepiness, being unable to think clearly, walk or talk normally and feeling faint, dizzy or confused.

An overdose may also result in a brain disorder known as toxic leukoencephalopathy.

• If you forget, change your patch, as soon as you remember and make note of the day and time. Change the patch again after 3 days (every 72 hours) as usual.
• If you are very late changing your patch, then you should talk to your doctor because you might need some extra painkillers, but do not apply an extra patch.

• If a patch falls off before it needs changing, stick a new one on straight away and make a note of the day and time. Use a new area of the skin on:
  • Your upper body or arm
  • Your child’s upper back
• Let your doctor know this has happened and leave the patch on for another 3 days (72 hours) or as directed by your doctor, before changing the new patch as usual
• If your patches keep falling off, talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.

• Do not suddenly stop using this medicine. If you want to stop using this medicine, discuss this with your doctor first. They will tell you how to do this, usually by reducing the dose gradually so that any unpleasant withdrawal effects are kept to a minimum. Withdrawal symptoms such as restlessness, difficulty sleeping, irritability, agitation, anxiety, feeling your heartbeat (palpitations), increased blood pressure, feeling or being sick, diarrhoea, shaking, shivering or sweating may occur if you suddenly stop using this medicine.
• If you stop using the patches, don’t start again without asking your doctor first. You might need a different patch strength when you restart.

• Feeling unusually drowsy, breathing that is more slow or shallow than expected.
  Follow the advice above and keep the person who was wearing the patch moving and talking as much as possible. Very rarely these breathing difficulties can be life-threatening or even fatal, especially in people who have not used strong opioid painkillers (like Opiodur^® or morphine) before.
