This medicine is called Fentanilo Matrix Normon

The patches help to relieve very strong and long-lasting pain:

Warnings and precautions

  • Fentanilo Matrix Normon can have life-threatening side effects in people who are not regularly using prescribed opioids.
  • Fentanilo Matrix Normon is a medicine that can be life-threatening to children, even if the patches have been used. Be aware that a sticky patch (used or unused) can be tempting to a child, and if it sticks 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, where others cannot get to it (see section 5 for more information).

If the patch sticks to another person

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

Be careful with Fentanilo Matrix Normon

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist beforeusing this medicine if you are in any of the following situations. Your doctor will need to keep a closer check on you:

  • 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), talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Fentanilo Matrix Normon.

Tell your doctor if you have breathing problems while you are sleeping.Opioids like Fentanilo Matrix Normon can cause sleep-related breathing problems, such as sleep apnea (pauses in breathing while sleeping) and sleep-related low blood oxygen levels. Talk to your doctor if you, your partner, or caregiver notice any of the following symptoms:

  • pauses in breathing while sleeping
  • 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.

Tell your doctor if you notice a change in your pain.If you feel:

  • that the patch is no longer relieving your pain
  • an increase in pain
  • a change in the way you feel pain (for example, you feel pain in a different part of your body)
  • 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 switch to a different treatment.

Side effects and Fentanilo Matrix Normon

  • Fentanilo Matrix Normon 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 Fentanilo Matrix Normon 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 Fentanilo Matrix Normon, talk to your doctor. This can increase the amount of medicine that passes through your skin.
  • Fentanilo Matrix Normon can cause constipation; talk to your doctor or pharmacist for advice on how to prevent or relieve constipation.

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

When 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, have long hot baths, or use saunas or hot tubs. If you do, you may increase the amount of medicine released from the patch.

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 tolerance). You may also become more sensitive to pain when using Fentanilo Matrix Normon. 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, talk to your doctor. Your doctor will decide whether it is best to increase the dose or gradually reduce the use of Fentanilo Matrix Normon.

Dependence and addiction

Repeated use of Fentanilo Matrix Normon 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 lead to 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 keep 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 Fentanilo Matrix Normon 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 disorders) or have received treatment from a psychiatrist for other mental health problems.

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

  • You need to use the medicine for longer than your doctor prescribed.
  • 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 tried to stop using the medicine several times but have been unable to.
  • You feel unwell when you stop using the medicine, and you feel better once you start using it again ("withdrawal symptoms").

If you notice any of these signs, talk to 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.

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

Repeated use of Fentanilo Matrix Normon can also lead to dependence, abuse, and addiction, which can result in a potentially life-threatening overdose.

Do not stop using this medicine suddenly. You may experience withdrawal symptoms such as restlessness, difficulty sleeping, irritability, agitation, anxiety, feeling your heartbeat (palpitations), increased blood pressure, feeling sick, diarrhea, loss of appetite, tremors, chills, 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.

Using Fentanilo Matrix Normon with antidepressants

The risk of side effects increases if you are taking medicines such as certain antidepressants. Fentanilo Matrix Normon 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 a serotonin syndrome). If used together, your doctor may want to closely monitor you for these side effects, especially when starting treatment or when changing the dose of the medicine.

Using Fentanilo Matrix Normon with central nervous system depressants, including alcohol and some narcotics

Using Fentanilo Matrix Normon with sedative medicines, such as benzodiazepines or related medicines, increases the risk of drowsiness, breathing difficulties (respiratory depression), coma, and can be life-threatening. For this reason, concomitant use should only be considered when other treatment options are not possible.

However, if your doctor prescribes Fentanilo Matrix Normon with sedative medicines, your doctor will limit the dose and duration of concomitant treatment.

Tell your doctor about all sedative medicines you are taking, and follow your doctor's dosing instructions carefully. It may be helpful to inform friends or family members so they are aware of the signs and symptoms mentioned above. Contact your doctor if you experience these symptoms.

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