1. What is Doloxital and what is it used for

This medicine is called Doloxital.

The patches help to relieve severe and long-lasting pain:

  • in adults who need continuous pain treatment
  • in children over 2 years of age who are already using opioid medication and need continuous pain treatment.

Doloxital contains a medicine called fentanyl. It belongs to a group of strong pain-relieving medicines called opioids.

2. What you need to know before you use Doloxital

Do not use Doloxital

  • If you are allergic to fentanyl, peanuts, soya, or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • If you have short-term pain, such as sudden pain or pain after an operation.
  • If you have breathing difficulties, with slow or weak breathing.

Do not use this medicine if you or your child are in any of the above situations. If you are not sure, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using Doloxital.

Warnings and precautions

  • Doloxital can have life-threatening side effects in people who are not regularly using prescribed opioids.
  • Doloxital is a medicine that can be life-threatening to children, even if they have used the patches before. Be aware that a used or unused adhesive patch can be tempting to a child, and if the patch is stuck to the child's skin or if the child puts it in their mouth, it can be fatal.
  • Keep this medicine in a safe and protected place, out of the reach of other people (see section 5 for more information).

If the patch sticks to another person

The patch should only be used on the skin of the person it has been prescribed for. There have been reports of cases where the patch has stuck to another person through close physical contact or sharing the same bed as the patch wearer. If the patch sticks to another person (especially a child), the medicine in the patch can pass through the other person's skin and cause serious side effects, such as breathing difficulties, with slow or weak breathing that can be life-threatening. If the patch sticks to another person's skin, it should be removed immediately and medical attention should be sought.

Be especially careful withDoloxital

Consult your doctor or pharmacist beforeusing this medicine if you are in any of the following situations. Your doctor will need to monitor you more closely:

  • If you have ever had lung or breathing problems
  • If you have ever had heart, liver, or kidney problems, or low blood pressure
  • If you have ever had a brain tumor
  • If you have ever had persistent headaches or a head injury
  • If you are elderly, as you may be more sensitive to the effects of this medicine
  • If you have a condition called "myasthenia gravis", where your muscles become weak and tired easily.

If you have any of the above conditions (or if you are not sure), consult your doctor or pharmacist before using Doloxital

While using the patch, tell your doctor if you have breathing problems while you are asleep.Opioids like Doloxital can cause sleep-related breathing disorders such as sleep apnea (pauses in breathing while asleep) and sleep-related hypoxemia (low oxygen levels in the blood). Talk to your doctor if you, your partner, or caregiver notice any of the following symptoms:

  • pauses in breathing while asleep
  • waking up at night due to lack of breath
  • difficulty staying asleep
  • excessive sleepiness during the day.

Your doctor may decide to change the dose.

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

  • feel that the patch is no longer relieving your pain
  • experience an increase in pain
  • notice a change in the way you feel pain (for example, you feel pain in a different part of your body)
  • feel pain when you touch your body in a way that should not hurt.

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

Side effects andDoloxital

  • Doloxital can make you feel extremely sleepy and can slow down your breathing. In rare cases, these breathing problems can be life-threatening, especially in people who have not used strong opioid painkillers before (such as Doloxital or morphine). If you, your partner, or caregiver notice that the person wearing the patch is unusually sleepy, with slow or weak breathing:
    • Remove the patch
    • Call a doctor or go to the nearest hospital immediately
    • Get the person to move and talk as much as possible
  • If you have a fever while using Doloxital, talk to your doctor. This can increase the amount of medicine that passes through your skin.
  • Doloxital can cause constipation; talk to your doctor or pharmacist for advice on how to prevent or relieve constipation.

You can find the complete list of possible side effects in section 4.

Long-term use and tolerance

This medicine contains fentanyl, an opioid. Repeated use of opioid painkillers can make the medicine less effective (your body gets used to it, which is known as pharmacological tolerance). You may also become more sensitive to pain when using Doloxital. This is known as hyperalgesia. Increasing the dose of the patches may continue to reduce pain for a while, but it can also be harmful. If you notice that the medicine is becoming less effective, consult your doctor. Your doctor will decide whether to increase the dose or gradually reduce the use of Doloxital.

Dependence and addiction

This medicine contains fentanyl, which is an opioid. It can cause dependence and/or addiction.

Repeated use of Doloxital can also lead to dependence, abuse, and addiction, which can result in a potentially life-threatening overdose. The risk of these side effects may be greater with higher doses and longer use. Dependence or addiction can cause a feeling of loss of control over the amount of medicine you need to use or how often you need to use it. You may feel the need to continue using the medicine even if it is no longer relieving your pain.

The risk of dependence or addiction varies from person to person. The risk of becoming dependent on or addicted to Doloxital may be greater if:

  • You or a family member have abused alcohol, prescription medicines, or illegal drugs ("addiction").
  • You smoke.
  • You have ever had mood problems (depression, anxiety, or personality disorder) or have received treatment from a psychiatrist for other mental health conditions.

If you notice any of the following symptoms while using Doloxital, it could be a sign of dependence or addiction.

  • You need to use the medicine for longer than prescribed by your doctor.
  • You need to use a higher dose than recommended.
  • You are using the medicine for reasons other than those prescribed, for example, "to feel calm" or "to help you sleep".
  • You have made repeated unsuccessful attempts to stop using the medicine or control your use.
  • You feel unwell when you stop using the medicine, and you feel better once you start taking it again ("withdrawal symptoms").

If you notice any of these signs, consult your doctor to determine the best course of treatment for you, when it is appropriate to stop the medicine, and how to do it safely.

While wearing the patch, do not expose it to direct heat, such as heat pads, electric blankets, hot water bottles, water beds, heat lamps, or sunlamps. Do not take sunbaths or have prolonged hot baths, and do not use saunas or hot tubs. If you do, you may increase the amount of medicine released from the patch.

Withdrawal symptoms when stopping Doloxital

Do not stop using this medicine suddenly. You may experience withdrawal symptoms such as restlessness, difficulty sleeping, irritability, agitation, anxiety, awareness of your heartbeat (palpitations), increased blood pressure, feeling or being sick, diarrhea, loss of appetite, tremors, shivers, or sweating. If you want to stop using this medicine, talk to your doctor first. Your doctor will tell you how to do it, usually by gradually reducing the dose so that the unpleasant withdrawal effects are minimized.

Other medicines and Doloxital

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.

This includes medicines obtained without a prescription and herbal remedies. You should also tell your pharmacist if you are using Doloxital when you buy any medicines from the pharmacy.

Your doctor will know which medicines can be taken safely with Doloxital. You may need to be monitored closely if you are taking any of the following types of medicines or if you stop taking any of the following types of medicines, as this may affect the dose of Doloxital you need.

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

  • Other pain medicines, such as other strong opioid painkillers (e.g., buprenorphine, nalbuphine, or pentazocine) and some pain medicines for nerve pain (gabapentin and pregabalin).
  • Medicines to help you sleep (such as temazepam, zaleplon, or zolpidem).
  • Medicines to calm you (tranquilizers, such as alprazolam, clonazepam, diazepam, hydroxyzine, or lorazepam) and medicines for mental health conditions (antipsychotics, such as aripiprazole, haloperidol, olanzapine, risperidone, or phenothiazines).
  • Medicines to relax your muscles (such as cyclobenzaprine or diazepam).
  • Certain medicines used to treat depression called SSRIs or SNRIs (such as citalopram, duloxetine, escitalopram, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine, sertraline, or venlafaxine). More information can be found below.
  • Certain medicines used to treat depression or Parkinson's disease called MAOIs (such as isocarboxazid, phenelzine, selegiline, or tranylcypromine). You should not use Doloxital in the 14 days after stopping these medicines. More information can be found below.
  • Certain antihistamines, especially those that cause drowsiness (such as chlorphenamine, clemastine, cyproheptadine, diphenhydramine, or hydroxyzine).
  • Certain antibiotics used to treat infections (such as erythromycin or clarithromycin).
  • Medicines used to treat fungal infections (such as itraconazole, ketoconazole, fluconazole, or voriconazole).
  • Medicines used to treat HIV infection (such as ritonavir).
  • Medicines used to treat irregular heartbeats (such as amiodarone, diltiazem, or verapamil).
  • Medicines used to treat tuberculosis (such as rifampicin).
  • Certain medicines used to treat epilepsy (such as carbamazepine, phenobarbital, or phenytoin).
  • Certain medicines used to treat nausea or vomiting (such as phenothiazines).
  • Certain medicines used to treat heartburn or stomach ulcers (such as cimetidine).
  • Certain medicines used to treat angina (chest pain) or high blood pressure (such as nicardipine).
  • Certain medicines used to treat blood cancer (such as idelalisib).

Using Doloxital with antidepressants

The risk of side effects increases if you are taking medicines such as certain antidepressants. Doloxital can interact with these medicines, and you may experience changes in your mental state, such as agitation, seeing, feeling, hearing, or smelling things that are not there (hallucinations), and other effects such as changes in blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, high body temperature, overactive reflexes, lack of coordination, muscle stiffness, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea (these could be signs of serotonin syndrome). If used together, your doctor may want to monitor you closely to detect these side effects, especially when starting treatment or when changing the dose of the medicine.

Using Doloxital with central nervous system depressants, including alcohol and some narcotics

Using Doloxital and sedative medicines such as benzodiazepines or related medicines at the same time increases the risk of feeling drowsy, having breathing difficulties (respiratory depression), coma, and can be life-threatening. Because of this, using them together should only be considered when no other treatment is possible.

However, if your doctor prescribes Doloxital with sedative medicines, the dose and duration of use should be limited by your doctor.

Tell your doctor about all sedative medicines you are taking, and follow your doctor's dosage recommendation. It may be helpful to inform friends or relatives to be aware of the signs and symptoms mentioned above. Consult your doctor if you experience any symptoms.

Do not drink alcohol while using Doloxital, unless you have talked to your doctor first.

Surgery

If you are going to have an operation, tell your doctor or dentist that you are using Doloxital.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

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

Doloxital should not be used during pregnancy, unless you have discussed it with your doctor.

Doloxital should not be used during labor, as the medicine can affect the baby's breathing.

Long-term use of Doloxital during pregnancy can cause withdrawal symptoms in your newborn baby, such as crying, irritability, convulsions, poor feeding, and diarrhea, which can be life-threatening if not recognized and treated. Talk to your doctor immediately if you think your baby may have withdrawal symptoms.

Do not use Doloxital if you are breastfeeding. You should not breastfeed for 3 days after removing the Doloxital patch. This is because the medicine can pass into breast milk.

Driving and using machines

Doloxital can affect your ability to drive or use machines or tools, as it can make you feel sleepy or dizzy. If this happens, do not drive or use machines or tools. Do not drive while using this medicine until you know how it affects you.

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure whether it is safe for you to drive while using this medicine.

Doloxital contains soya oil

This medicine contains soya oil. Do not use if you are allergic to peanuts or soya.

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

Where to apply the patch

Adults

  • Apply the patch to a flat area of the torso or arm (never over a joint)

Children

  • Always apply the patch to the upper back so that your child has difficulty reaching or removing it.
  • Check occasionally to ensure the patch is still attached to the skin.
  • It is essential that the child does not remove the patch and put it in their mouth, as this could be life-threatening or fatal.
  • Keep your child under close observation for 48 hours after:
  • Applying the first patch
  • Applying a patch with a higher dose
  • The patch may take some time to reach its maximum effect. Therefore, your child may need other pain relievers until the patch is effective. Your doctor will explain this to you.

Adults and children:

Do not apply the patch to

  • The same site twice in a row.
  • Areas that move a lot (joints), irritated skin, or skin with wounds.
  • Areas of skin with a lot of hair. If there is hair, do not shave it (the skin becomes irritated with shaving). Instead, cut it as close to the skin as possible.

How to apply the patch

Step 1: Prepare the skin

  • Before applying the patch, check that the skin is completely dry, clean, and fresh.
  • If you need to wash the skin, use only cold water.
  • Do not use soap or other cleaners, creams, moisturizers, oils, or talcum powder before applying the patch.
  • Do not apply the patch immediately after a hot bath or shower.

Step 2: Open the pouch

  • Each patch is sealed in its own pouch.
  • To open the pouch, first cut two notches, as indicated by the arrows.
  • Then, carefully tear along both edges of the pouch completely (if using scissors, cut along the seal edge to avoid damaging the patch).

  • Check that the patch is not damaged.
  • Do not use the patch if it is divided, cut, or damaged in any way.
  • Never divide or cut the patch.

Step 3: Peel and press

  • Make sure the patch will be covered by loose clothing and not stuck under tight or elastic fabric.
  • Carefully peel off one half of the shiny plastic protective layer, starting from the center of the patch. Try not to touch the adhesive part of the patch.
  • Press this adhesive part of the patch onto the skin.
  • Remove the other part of the protective layer and press the entire patch onto the skin with the palm of your hand.
  • Hold it pressed for at least 30 seconds. Make sure the patch is well adhered, especially around the edges.

Step 4: Dispose of the patch

  • As soon as you remove the patch, fold it in half, so that the adhesive surface sticks to itself.
  • Put it back in the original pouch and dispose of it according to your pharmacist's instructions.
  • Keep used patches out of sight and reach of children; although used, patches contain medication that can harm children and even be fatal.
