1. What is Buprenorphine Teva and what is it used for

The active substance of Buprenorphine Teva is buprenorphine.

Buprenorphine Teva is an analgesic (a medicine for pain relief) indicated for the relief of moderate to severe cancer pain and severe pain that does not respond to other types of analgesics. Buprenorphine Teva acts through the skin. When the transdermal patch is applied to the skin, the active ingredient buprenorphine passes through the skin into the blood. Buprenorphine is an opioid (a strong pain reliever) that reduces pain by acting on the central nervous system (in specific nerve cells in the spinal cord and brain). The effect of the transdermal patch lasts up to a maximum of four days. Buprenorphine Teva is not suitable for the treatment of acute (short-term) pain.

2. What you need to know before you use Buprenorphine Teva

Do not use Buprenorphine Teva

  • if you are allergic to buprenorphine or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6),
  • if you are addicted to strong pain relievers (opioids),
  • if you have a disease in which you have great difficulty breathing or in which this may occur,
  • if you are taking MAO inhibitors (certain medicines for the treatment of depression) or have taken them in the last two weeks before treatment with Buprenorphine Teva (see “Other medicines and Buprenorphine Teva”),
  • in case of myasthenia gravis (a type of severe muscle weakness),
  • in case of delirium tremens (confusion and tremors caused by alcohol withdrawal after habitual excessive alcohol consumption or during an episode of high alcohol consumption),
  • in case of pregnancy.

Buprenorphine Teva should not be used to treat withdrawal syndrome in drug addicts.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to use Buprenorphine Teva

  • if you have recently drunk a lot of alcohol,
  • if you have epileptic seizures or convulsions (fits),
  • if you have altered consciousness (feeling of dizziness or fainting) for unknown reasons,
  • if you are in a state of shock (a sign could be cold sweat),
  • if you have increased intracranial pressure (e.g. after head injury or brain disease) without the possibility of artificial respiration,
  • if you have difficulty breathing or are taking other medication that may make you breathe more slowly or weakly (see “Other medicines and Buprenorphine Teva”),
  • if you have depression or other diseases that are treated with antidepressants.

The use of these medicines together with Buprenorphine Teva may cause serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening disease (see “Other medicines and Buprenorphine Teva”),

  • if you have liver problems,
  • if you have a tendency to abuse medicines or drugs.

Also, note the following precautions:

  • Some people may become dependent on strong pain relievers such as Buprenorphine Teva when they use them for a long time. These patients may have effects after they stop using them (see “If you stop treatment with Buprenorphine Teva”).
  • Fever and ambient heat can lead to higher than normal amounts of buprenorphine in the blood. Also, ambient heat can prevent the transdermal patch from sticking properly. Therefore, consult your doctor if you have a fever and avoid exposure to heat sources (e.g. sauna, infrared lamps, electric blankets or hot water bottles).
  • Sleep-related breathing disorders: Buprenorphine Teva may cause sleep-related breathing disorders such as sleep apnea (breathing pauses during sleep) and sleep-related hypoxemia (low blood oxygen levels). Symptoms may include breathing pauses during sleep, nighttime awakenings due to difficulty breathing, difficulty maintaining sleep or excessive daytime sleepiness. Contact your doctor if you or someone else notices these symptoms. Your doctor may consider a dose reduction.
  • Athletes should be warned that this medicine may give a positive result in doping tests.

Tolerance, dependence, and addiction

This medicine contains buprenorphine, an opioid substance. Repeated use of opioids can reduce the effectiveness of the medicine (your body gets used to the medicine, this is what is known as tolerance). Repeated use of Buprenorphine Teva can also cause dependence, abuse, and addiction, which can lead to a potentially life-threatening overdose. The risk of side effects may increase with a higher dose and longer duration of use. Dependence or addiction can make you feel like you no longer have control over the amount of medicine you need to take or how often you need to take it.

The risk of becoming dependent or addicted varies from person to person. You may have a higher risk of becoming dependent or addicted to Buprenorphine Teva if:

  • You or a family member have a history of abuse or dependence on alcohol, prescription medicines, or illicit substances (“addiction”).
  • You are a smoker.
  • You have ever had problems with your mood (depression, anxiety, or personality disorder) or have received psychiatric treatment for other mental illnesses.

If you notice any of the following signs while taking Buprenorphine Teva, it could be a sign that you have become dependent or addicted:

  • You need to take the medicine for longer than recommended by your doctor.
  • You need to take more doses than recommended.
  • You may feel like you need to keep using your medicine, even when it no longer helps with pain relief.
  • You are using the medicine for reasons other than those prescribed, for example, “to calm down” or “to help you sleep”.
  • You have made repeated unsuccessful attempts to stop or control the use of the medicine.
  • You do not feel well when you stop taking the medicine and feel better when you take it again (“withdrawal symptoms”).

If you notice any of these signs, talk to your doctor to address the most appropriate treatment strategy in your case, including when it is appropriate to stop taking it and how to do so safely (see section 3 “If you stop treatment with Buprenorphine Teva”).

Children and adolescents

Buprenorphine Teva should not be used in persons under 18 years of age, as there is no experience with its use in this age group to date.

Other medicines and Buprenorphine Teva

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used, or might use any other medicines.

  • Buprenorphine Teva should not be used with MAO inhibitors (certain medicines for the treatment of depression) or if you have taken them in the last two weeks.
  • Buprenorphine Teva may cause drowsiness, vomiting, dizziness, or blurred vision, and may affect your reflexes so that you do not react adequately or quickly enough in case of sudden or unexpected situations. These side effects may be intensified if you take other medicines that may have the same effects. These other medicines include other strong pain relievers (opioids), certain sleeping medicines, anesthetics, and medicines for the treatment of certain psychological diseases such as tranquilizers, antidepressants, and neuroleptics.

The concomitant use of Buprenorphine Teva and sedative medicines such as benzodiazepines or related medicines increases the risk of drowsiness, breathing difficulties (respiratory depression), coma, and can be potentially life-threatening. Due to this, concomitant use should only be considered when other treatment options are not possible.

However, if your doctor prescribes Buprenorphine Teva together with sedative medicines, your doctor should limit the dose and duration of concomitant treatment.

Tell your doctor about all sedative medicines you are taking and closely follow the dosage recommendation. It may be useful to inform friends or family members so they are aware of the signs and symptoms indicated above. Contact your doctor when you experience such symptoms.

The concomitant use of Buprenorphine Teva and gabapentinoids such as gabapentin or pregabalin used to treat epilepsy or pain due to nerve problems (neuropathic pain) may cause breathing difficulties (respiratory depression), low blood pressure, deep drowsiness, coma, and can be potentially life-threatening.

  • If Buprenorphine Teva is used with anticholinergics or medicines with anticholinergic activity, such as medicines for treating depression, medicines used to treat allergies, dizziness, or nausea (antihistamines or antiemetics), medicines for treating psychiatric disorders (antipsychotics or neuroleptics), muscle relaxants, or medicines for treating Parkinson's disease, the anticholinergic side effects may increase.
  • If Buprenorphine Teva is used with some medicines, the action of the transdermal patch may be intensified. These medicines include, for example, certain anti-infectives and antifungals (e.g. those containing erythromycin or ketoconazole) or medicines for HIV (e.g. those containing ritonavir).
  • If Buprenorphine Teva is used with other medicines, the action of the transdermal patch may be reduced. These medicines include, for example, dexamethasone, certain products for the treatment of epilepsy (e.g. those containing carbamazepine or phenytoin) or medicines used for the treatment of tuberculosis (e.g. rifampicin).
  • Some medicines may increase the side effects of Buprenorphine Teva and may occasionally cause very serious reactions. Do not take any other medicine while taking Buprenorphine Teva without consulting your doctor first, especially antidepressants such as moclobemide, tranilcipromine, citalopram, escitalopram, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine, sertraline, duloxetine, venlafaxine, amitriptyline, doxepin, or trimipramine. These medicines may interact with Buprenorphine Teva, and you may experience symptoms such as involuntary muscle contractions, including the muscles that control eye movement, agitation, hallucinations, coma, excessive sweating, tremors, exaggerated reflexes, increased muscle tension, body temperature above 38 °C. Contact your doctor if you suffer from these symptoms.

Using Buprenorphine Teva with food, drinks, and alcohol

Do not drink alcohol while using Buprenorphine Teva. Alcohol may intensify certain side effects of the transdermal patch and may make you feel unwell. If you drink grapefruit juice, it may intensify the effects of Buprenorphine Teva.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using this medicine.

There is no sufficient experience with the use of Buprenorphine Teva in pregnant women to date. Therefore, do not use Buprenorphine Teva during pregnancy.

Buprenorphine, the active ingredient in the transdermal patch, inhibits milk production and passes into breast milk. Therefore, do not use Buprenorphine Teva during breastfeeding.

Driving and using machines

Buprenorphine Teva may make you feel dizzy, drowsy, or have double or blurred vision, and may affect your reflexes so that you do not react adequately or quickly enough in case of sudden or unexpected situations. This applies especially:

  • at the beginning of treatment
  • when changing the dose
  • when changing from another medicine to Buprenorphine Teva
  • if you are also taking other medicines that act on the brain
  • if you drink alcohol

If you are affected, you should not drive or operate machinery while using Buprenorphine Teva. This also applies at the end of treatment with Buprenorphine Teva. Do not drive or operate machinery for at least 24 hours after removal of the patch.

In case of doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

3. How to use Buprenorphine Teva

Follow your doctor's instructions for administering this medication exactly. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

Before starting treatment and periodically during it, your doctor will discuss with you what you can expect from using this medication, when and for how long you should take it, when to contact your doctor, and when you should stop taking it (see also "If you stop treatment with Buprenorphine Teva").

This medication is available in three doses: Buprenorphine Teva 35 micrograms/hour transdermal patch EFG, Buprenorphine Teva 52.5 micrograms/hour transdermal patch EFG, and Buprenorphine Teva 70 micrograms/hour transdermal patch EFG.

Your doctor has chosen this buprenorphine patch as the most suitable for you. During treatment, your doctor may change the transdermal patch you use to one with a lower or higher dose if necessary.

The recommended dose is:

Adults

Follow these instructions unless your doctor has given you different instructions. Apply the buprenorphine patch (as detailed below) and change it after four days, at most. To facilitate use, you can change the patch 2 times a week on fixed days, e.g., "always on Mondays in the morning and Thursdays in the afternoon". To help you remember when to change the transdermal patch, note it in the carton calendar. If your doctor has instructed you to take other painkillers in addition to the transdermal patch, follow your doctor's instructions strictly; otherwise, you will not fully benefit from the buprenorphine treatment.

Children and adolescents

This medication should not be used in people under 18 years of age because there is no experience in this age group to date.

Elderly patients

No dose adjustment is required in elderly patients.

Patients with renal impairment / patients on dialysis

In patients with renal impairment and patients on dialysis, no dose adjustment is needed.

Patients with hepatic impairment

In patients with hepatic impairment, the intensity and duration of the action of buprenorphine may be affected. If you belong to this group of patients, your doctor will monitor you with greater care.

Method of administration

Before applying a transdermal patch

  • Choose a smooth, hairless area of skin on the upper part of your body, preferably under the collarbone on the chest or on the upper back (see adjacent figure). Ask for help if you cannot apply the transdermal patch yourself.

  • If the chosen area has hair, cut it with scissors. Do not shave!
  • Avoid areas of the skin that are red, irritated, or have any other type of spots, such as large scars.
  • The skin area you choose must be dry and clean. If necessary, wash it with cold or lukewarm water. Do not use soap or other detergents. After a hot bath or shower, wait until your skin is completely dry and cool. Do not apply lotions, creams, or ointments to the chosen area. This could prevent the transdermal patch from sticking properly.

Applying the transdermal patch:

Step 1: Each transdermal patch is sealed in an envelope. Just before use, cut the envelope along the sealed edge with scissors. Be careful not to damage the transdermal patches. Take the transdermal patch.

Step 2: The adhesive side of the transdermal patch is covered by a transparent protective film. Carefully peel off halfof the film. Try not to touch the adhesive part of the transdermal patch.

Step 3: Stick the transdermal patch to the skin area you have chosen and remove the rest of the film.

Step 4: Press the transdermal patch against your skin with the palm of your hand and count slowly to 30. Make sure the entire transdermal patch is in contact with your skin, especially the edges.

Step 5: Wash your hands after using the transdermal patch. Do not use any cleaning products.

While wearing the transdermal patch

You can wear the transdermal patch for up to 4 days. If you have applied the transdermal patch correctly, the risk of it coming off is low. You can shower, bathe, or swim while wearing it. However, do not expose the transdermal patch to extreme heat (e.g., sauna, infrared lamps, electric blankets, or hot water bottles).

In the unlikely event that your transdermal patch falls off before you need to change it, do not use the same transdermal patch again. Apply a new one immediately (see "Changing the transdermal patch" below).

Changing the transdermal patch

  • Remove the old patch carefully.
  • Fold it in half with the adhesive side facing inwards.
  • Dispose of it carefully, out of sight and reach of children.
  • Apply a new transdermal patch to a different skin area (as described before). At least 1 week should pass before you can apply a new patch to the same skin area.

Duration of treatment

Your doctor will indicate the duration of your treatment with this medication. Do not stop treatment with buprenorphine on your own, as the pain may return and you may feel unwell (see also "If you stop treatment with Buprenorphine Teva").

If you think the effect of this medication is too strong or too weak, tell your doctor or pharmacist.

If you use more Buprenorphine Teva than you should

If this happens, there may be signs of a buprenorphine overdose. An overdose can intensify the adverse effects of buprenorphine, such as drowsiness, nausea, and vomiting. You may have pinpoint pupils, and your breathing may become slow and weak. You could also suffer a cardiovascular collapse.

As soon as you realize you have used more transdermal patches than you should, remove the excess transdermal patches and consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately.

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult the Toxicology Information Service, phone 91 562 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount used.

If you forget to use Buprenorphine Teva

If you forget an application, apply a new transdermal patch as soon as you remember. This will change your routine, e.g., if you normally apply your transdermal patch on Mondays and Thursdays, but you forget and do not apply the new transdermal patch until Wednesday, from then on you will need to change your transdermal patches on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Note the new pair of days in the carton calendar. If you change the transdermal patch too late, the pain may return. In this case, consult your doctor.

Never apply more than one transdermal patch to make up for the one you forgot!

If you stop treatment with Buprenorphine Teva

If you stop or finish treatment with this medication too early, the pain will return. If you want to stop treatment due to unpleasant side effects, consult your doctor. Your doctor will tell you what you can do and if you can be treated with other medications.

Some people may experience withdrawal effects after using powerful painkillers for a long time and stopping them. The risk of having these effects after stopping the application of buprenorphine patches is very low. However, if you feel agitated, anxious, nervous, or trembly, if you are hyperactive, have difficulty sleeping, or digestive problems, consult your doctor.

If you have any other questions about using this medication, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
