Contents of the package and additional information

1. What is Fentanilo Matrix STADA and what is it used for

This medicine is calledFentanilo Matrix Stada.

The patches help to relieve very strong and 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.

Fentanilo Matrix Stadacontains a medicine called fentanilo. It belongs to a group of strong pain-relieving medicines called opioids.

2. What you need to know before starting to use Fentanilo Matrix STADA

Do not use Fentanilo Matrix Stada:

If you are allergic to fentanyl or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).

If you have short-term pain, such as sudden pain or pain after surgery.

If you have difficulty breathing with slow or weak breathing.

Do not use this medication if you or your child is in any of the above circumstances. If you are unsure, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using Fentanilo Matrix Stada.

Warnings and precautions

Fentanilo Matrix Stada may have life-threatening adverse effects in people who are not regularly using prescribed opioids.

Fentanilo Matrix Stada is a medication that could put the lives of children at risk, even if the patches have already been used. Note that a used or unused adhesive patch may be tempting to a child, and if it sticks to the child's skin or if the child puts it in their mouth, the result could be fatal.

Keep this medication in a safe and secure place, where others cannot access it – 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 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 from the patch may pass through the other person's skin and cause serious adverse effects, such as difficulty breathing, slow or weak breathing that can be fatal. In the event that the patch sticks to someone else's skin, it should be removed immediately and the person should seek medical attention.

Be especially careful with Fentanilo Matrix Stada

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

If you have ever had respiratory 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 trauma.

If you are an elderly person, as you may be more sensitive to the effects of this medication.

If 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 if you are unsure), consult your doctor or pharmacist before using Fentanilo Matrix Stada.

While using the patch, report to your doctor if you have breathing problems while sleeping.

Opioids like fentanyl 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 observe 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 modify the dose.

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

If you feel:

• the patch no longer relieves the pain

• an increase in pain

• a change in the way you feel the 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 the dose on your own. Your doctor may decide to modify the dose or change the treatment.

Adverse effects and Fentanilo Matrix Stada

Fentanilo may make you feel exceptionally sleepy and make yourbreathing slower or weaker. In rare cases, these breathing problems can be life-threatening or even fatal, especially in people who have not used strong opioid painkillers (such as fentanyl or morphine) before. If you, or your partner, or caregiver observe 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

- Make the person move and talk as much as possible

If you have a fever while using fentanilo, talk to your doctor. This can increase the amount of medication that passes through your skin.

Fentanilo may cause constipation; talk to your doctor or pharmacist for advice on how to prevent or relieve constipation.

See section 4 for the complete list of possible adverse effects.

When wearing the patch, do not expose it 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 painkillers 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. 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 medication is losing its effectiveness, consult your doctor. Your doctor will decide whether it is better to increase the dose or to gradually reduce the use of fentanyl.

Dependence and addiction

The repeated use of fentanyl 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 how often you should use it. You may feel the need to continue using the medication even if it does not help to relieve the pain.

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

• You or any family member 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 fentanyl, it could be a sign of dependence or addiction:

• You need to use the medication for longer than indicated 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 using the medication, and how to do it safely.

Withdrawal symptoms when stopping fentanyl

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 Stada

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 buy any medication at the pharmacy.

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

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

Other pain medications, such as other opioid painkillers (e.g., buprenorphine, nalbuphine, or pentazocine) and some nerve pain medications (gabapentin and pregabalin).

Sleeping medications (such as temazepam, zaleplon, or zolpidem).

Fentanilo Matrix Stada with antidepressants

The risk of adverse effects increases if you are taking certain antidepressants.

Fentanilo may interact with these medications, 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, hyperactive reflexes, lack of coordination, muscle rigidity, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea (which may be signs of a Serotonin Syndrome). If these medications are used together, your doctor may want to monitor you closely to detect these side effects, especially when starting treatment or changing the dose of the medication.

Use with central nervous system depressants, including alcohol and some narcotics

The use of fentanilo with sedatives such as benzodiazepines or related medications increases the risk of drowsiness, breathing difficulties (respiratory depression), coma, and may be potentially fatal. Due to this, concurrent use should only be considered when other treatment options are not possible.

However, if your doctor prescribes fentanilo along with sedatives, the dose and duration of concurrent treatment should be limited by your doctor.

Inform your doctor about all sedatives you are taking and follow your doctor's recommended dosing closely. It may be helpful to inform friends or family members about the signs and symptoms mentioned above. Contact your doctor when you experience these symptoms.

Do not drink alcohol while using fentanilo, unless you have spoken with your doctor first.

Surgery

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

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

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

Fentanilo should not be used during pregnancy, unless you have spoken with your doctor.

Fentaniloshould not be used during delivery, as the medication may affect the newborn'sbreathing.

Prolonged use of fentanilo during pregnancy may cause withdrawal symptoms (such as loud crying, restlessness, 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 newborn may have withdrawal symptoms.

Do not usefentaniloif you are breastfeeding. Do not breastfeed for 3 days after removing the fentanilopatch. This is because the medication may pass into breast milk.
