Warnings and precautions

If the patch sticks to another person

The patch should only be used on the skin of the person for whom the doctor prescribed it. There have been some cases where the patch has accidentally stuck to another family member by physical contact or sharing the same bed with the person wearing the patch. If the patch accidentally sticks to another person (particularly a child), the medication in the patch can pass through the other person's skin and may cause serious side effects, such as difficulty breathing, slow or weak breathing, which can be fatal. In the event that the patch sticks to another person's skin, it should be removed immediately and the person should seek medical attention.

Be especially careful with Fentanilo Matrix Sandoz

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

• You have ever had respiratory or breathing problems,
• You have ever had heart problems, liver problems, kidney problems, or low blood pressure,
• You have ever had a brain tumor,
• You have ever had persistent headaches or head injuries,
• You are an elderly patient - you may be more sensitive to the effects of this medication,
• You have a condition called "myasthenia gravis", in which your muscles become weak and easily fatigued.

If you meet any of the above conditions (or are unsure), consult your doctor or pharmacist before using Fentanilo Matrix Sandoz.

While using the patch, report to your doctor if you experience breathing problems while sleeping.Fentanyl and other opioids can cause sleep-related breathing disorders such as sleep apnea (pauses in breathing while sleeping) 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 sleeping,
• waking up at night due to lack of air,
• difficulty staying asleep,
• excessive daytime sleepiness. Your doctor may decide to adjust your dose.

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

• the patch no longer alleviates the pain,
• an increase in pain,
• a change in the way you feel pain (for example, you feel pain in another part of your body),
• pain when you come into contact with your body that should not cause pain.

Do not change your dose on your own. Your doctor may decide to adjust your dose or change your treatment.

Side effects and Fentanilo Matrix Sandoz

• Fentanyl may make you feel unusually sleepy and slow or weak breathing.

In rare cases, these breathing problems can be life-threatening or even fatal, especially in people who have not used strong prescription opioids before. If you, or your partner or caregiver, notice that the person wearing the patch is unusually sleepy, slow or weak breathing:

- remove the patch,

- call a doctor or go to the nearest hospital immediately,

- keep the person moving and talking as much as possible.

• If you have a fever while using fentanyl, report it to your doctor. This can increase the amount of medication that passes through your skin,
• Fentanyl may cause constipation, talk to your doctor or pharmacist for advice on how to prevent or relieve constipation,

See section 4 for a complete list of possible side effects.

Do not expose the patch to direct heat, such as heating pads, electric blankets, hot water bottles, hot tubs, or heat lamps or tanning beds. Do not take the sun or long hot baths and do not use saunas or hot tubs. If you do, you may increase the amount of medication released from the patch.

Long-term use and tolerance

This medication contains fentanyl, an opioid. Repeated use of opioid analgesics can make the medication less effective (your body becomes accustomed to it, known as pharmacological tolerance). It is also possible that you will become more sensitive to pain when using fentanyl transdermal patches. This is known as hyperalgesia. Increasing the dose of the patches may continue to reduce pain for a while, but it may also be harmful. If you notice that the medication is losing its effectiveness, consult your doctor. Your doctor will decide whether to increase the dose or gradually reduce the use of fentanyl transdermal patches.

Dependence and addiction

The repeated use of Fentanilo Matrix Sandoz can also cause dependence, abuse, and addiction, which could lead to a potentially fatal overdose. The risk of these adverse effects may be higher with a higher dose and longer use. Dependence or addiction can cause you to feel a lack of control over the amount of medication you should use or the frequency with which you should use it. You may feel the need to continue using the medication even if it no longer helps to alleviate pain.

The risk of dependence or addiction varies from person to person. The risk of becoming dependent or addicted to Fentanilo Matrix Sandoz may be higher if:

• You or any member of your family have abused alcohol or experienced dependence on it, prescription medications, or illegal drugs ("addiction").
• You smoke.
• You have ever had mood problems (depression, anxiety, or a personality disorder) or have been treated by a psychiatrist for other mental health conditions.

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

• You need to use the medication for a longer period than recommended by your doctor.
• You need to use a higher dose than recommended.
• You are using the medication for reasons other than those prescribed, such as "to stay calm" or "to help you sleep".
• You have made repeated and unsuccessful attempts to stop using the medication or control your use.
• You feel unwell when you stop using the medication, and you feel better once you take 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 medication, and how to do it safely.

Withdrawal symptoms when stopping useFentanilo Matrix Sandoz

Do not stop using this medication abruptly. Withdrawal symptoms such as restlessness, difficulty sleeping, irritability, agitation, anxiety, feeling your heartbeat (palpitations), increased blood pressure, feeling or being sick, diarrhea, loss of appetite, tremors, chills, or sweating may occur. If you want to stop using this medication, talk to your doctor first. Your doctor will advise you on how to do it, usually by gradually reducing the dose to minimize unpleasant withdrawal symptoms.

Other medications and Fentanilo Matrix Sandoz

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have taken recently, or may need to take any other medication. This includes over-the-counter medications and herbal remedies. You should also inform your pharmacist that you are using fentanyl if you purchase any other medication from the pharmacy.

Your doctor will know which medications can be taken safely with Fentanilo Matrix Sandoz. They may need to monitor you closely if you are taking any of the medications listed below or if you stop taking any of the medications listed below, as this may affect the dose of fentanyl you need.

Particularly, inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking:

• Other pain medications, such as other strong opioid analgesics (such as buprenorphine, nalbuphine, or pentazocine) and some analgesics for neuropathic pain (gabapentin and pregabalin).
• Medications to help you sleep (such as temazepam, zaleplon, or zolpidem).
• Medications to help you relax (tranquilizers, such as alprazolam, clonazepam, diazepam, hydroxyzine, or lorazepam) and medications for mental health conditions (antipsychotics, such as aripiprazole, haloperidol, olanzapine, risperidone, or phenothiazines).
• Medications to relax muscles (such as cyclobenzaprine or diazepam).
• Some medications used to treat depression called SSRIs or SNRIs (such as citalopram, duloxetine, escitalopram, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine, sertraline, or venlafaxine). - See below for more information.
• Some medications used to treat depression or Parkinson's disease called MAOIs (such as isocarboxazid, phenelzine, selegiline, or tranylcypromine). Do not use fentanyl in the 14 days following the interruption of these medications. - See below for more information.
• Some antihistamines, especially those that cause drowsiness (such as chlorpheniramine, clemastine, ciproheptadine, diphenhydramine, or hydroxyzine).
• Some antibiotics used to treat infections (such as erythromycin or clarithromycin).
• Medications used to treat fungal infections (such as itraconazole, ketoconazole, fluconazole, or voriconazole).
• Medications used to treat HIV infection (such as ritonavir).
• Medications used to treat irregular heartbeats (such as amiodarone, diltiazem, or verapamil).
• Medications to treat tuberculosis (such as rifampicin).
• Some medications used to treat epilepsy (such as carbamazepine, phenobarbital, or phenytoin).
• Some medications used to treat nausea or dizziness (such as phenothiazines).
• Some medications used to treat stomach acid or ulcers (such as cimetidine).

• Some medications used to treat angina (chest pain) or high blood pressure (such as nicardipine).
• Some medications used to treat blood cancer (such as idelalisib).

Fentanilo Matrix Sandoz with antidepressants

The risk of adverse effects increases if you are taking medications such as certain antidepressants. Fentanyl may interact with these medications and may cause changes in mental state, such as feeling agitated, 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, hyperactive reflexes, poor coordination, muscle stiffness, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Fentanilo Matrix Sandoz with central nervous system depressants, including benzodiazepines, alcohol, and some narcotics

Consult your doctor if you are taking any other medication that slows down your central nervous system (CNS depressants). CNS depressants include medications that make you sleep, reduce anxiety, or decrease consciousness (see also "Other medications and Fentanilo Matrix Sandoz"); but alcohol and some narcotics are also CNS depressants. The use of this type of medication with fentanyl can cause severe drowsiness, decreased consciousness, difficulty breathing with slow or shallow breathing, coma, and death. Due to this, concomitant use should only be considered when other treatment options are not possible.

However, if your doctor prescribes fentanyl along with sedatives, your doctor should limit the dose and duration of concomitant treatment. Follow your doctor's recommendations closely. It may be helpful to inform friends or family members who are aware of the signs and symptoms mentioned above. Contact your doctor when you experience these symptoms.

Do not consume alcohol while using Fentanilo Matrix Sandoz unless you have previously consulted with your doctor.

Surgery

If you think you will be receiving anesthesia, inform your doctor or dentist that you are using Fentanilo Matrix Sandoz.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or think you may be pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.

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

Fentanyl should not be used during labor as the medication can affect the newborn's breathing.

Prolonged use of fentanyl during pregnancy can cause withdrawal symptoms (such as loud crying, feeling restless, convulsions, poor feeding, and diarrhea) in your newborn, which can be potentially fatal if not recognized and treated. Talk to your doctor immediately if you think your baby may be experiencing withdrawal symptoms.

Do not use fentanyl if you are breastfeeding. You should not breastfeed for 3 days after removing the Fentanilo Matrix Sandoz patch. This is because the medication can pass into breast milk.
