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 has prescribed it. There have been some cases where the patch has accidentally stuck to another family member by close 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 medicine in the patch may pass through the other person's skin and may cause serious side 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 ratiopharm

Consult your doctor or pharmacist beforeusing this medicine 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.
• you have ever had heart, liver, or kidney problems, or low blood pressure.
• you have ever had a brain tumor.
• you have ever had persistent headaches or a head injury.
• you are elderly, as you may be more sensitive to the effects of this medicine.
• you have a condition called "myasthenia gravis", in which your muscles become weak and tire easily.

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

While using the patch, report to your doctor if you have breathing problems while sleeping.Fentanyl, like Fentanilo Matrix ratiopharm, 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:

• that 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.

Side effects and Fentanilo Matrix ratiopharm

• Fentanilo Matrix ratiopharm may make you feel exceptionally sleepy and may slow down your breathing. In rare cases, these breathing problems can be life-threatening or even fatal, especially in people who have not used strong prescription painkillers (such as Fentanilo Matrix ratiopharm or morphine) before. If you, or your partner or caregiver, observe that the person wearing the patch is unusually sleepy, breathing slowly or weakly.
• Remove the patch
• Call a doctor or go to the nearest hospital immediately
• Have the person move and talk as much as possible

• If you have a fever while using Fentanilo Matrix ratiopharm, talk to your doctor. This may increase the amount of medicine that passes through your skin.
• Fentanilo Matrix ratiopharm 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.

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 medicine released from the patch.

The patches should not be cut into smaller pieces as the quality, efficacy, and safety of such divided patches have not been demonstrated.

Doping

The use of fentanyl patches may result in a positive test for doping. The use of fentanyl patches as a doping agent can be hazardous to your health.

Long-term use and tolerance

This medicine contains fentanyl, an opioid. Repeated use of strong 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 Fentanilo Matrix ratiopharm. 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 medicine is losing its effectiveness, consult your doctor. Your doctor will decide whether it is better to increase the dose or to gradually reduce your use of Fentanilo Matrix ratiopharm.

Dependence and addiction

The repeated use of Fentanilo Matrix ratiopharm can also cause dependence, abuse, and addiction, which could lead to a potentially fatal overdose. The risk of these side 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 medicine you should use or how often you should use it. You may feel the need to continue using the medicine even if it no longer helps to relieve pain.

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

• You or any member of your family have abused alcohol or have experienced dependence on it, prescription medications, or illegal drugs ("addiction").
• You are a smoker.
• 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 ratiopharm, it could be a sign of dependence or addiction.

• You need to use the medicine for longer than recommended by your doctor.
• You need to use a higher dose than recommended.
• You are using the medicine 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 medicine or control your use.

• You feel unwell when you stop using the medicine, 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 medicine, and how to do it safely.

Withdrawal symptoms when stopping Fentanilo Matrix ratiopharm

Do not stop using this medicine 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 medicine, talk to your doctor first. Your doctor will advise you on how to do it, usually the dose will be gradually reduced to minimize unpleasant withdrawal symptoms.

You should also inform your pharmacist that you are using Fentanilo Matrix ratiopharm if you buy any medicine from the pharmacy.

Your doctor will know which medicines can be taken/safely used with Fentanilo Matrix ratiopharm. They may need to monitor you closely if you are taking/using any of the types of medicines listed below or if you stop taking/using some of the types of medicines listed, as this may affect the dose of Fentanilo Matrix ratiopharm you need.

Using Fentanilo Matrix ratiopharm with antidepressants

The risk of side effects increases if you are taking or using certain antidepressants. Fentanilo Matrix ratiopharm may 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, hyperactive reflexes, lack of coordination, muscle stiffness, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea (which may be signs of a serotonin syndrome). If you are using them 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 with central nervous system depressants, including alcohol and some narcotics

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

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

Inform your doctor about all sedatives you are taking or using and follow your doctor's recommended dose strictly. It may be helpful to inform friends or family members to alert them to the signs and symptoms described above. Contact your doctor if you experience these symptoms.

Do not drink alcohol while usingFentanilo Matrix ratiopharm, unless you have talked to your doctor first.

Fentanilo Matrix ratiopharm should not be used during pregnancy, unless you have talked to your doctor.

Fentanilo Matrix ratiopharm should not be usedduring labor, as the medicine may affect the newborn's breathing.

Prolonged use of Fentanilo Matrix ratiopharm during pregnancy may 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 have withdrawal symptoms.
