Actiq 12 Aug 2021   Actiq contains a medicine called fentanyl citrate. Fentanyl is a strong pain-relieving medicine and belongs to a group of medicine known as opioids. Actiq lozenge with integral applicator is a system for delivering fentanyl directly through the lining of the mouth. When you place Actiq in your mouth, it dissolves and the medicine is absorbed through the lining of your mouth, into the blood system. Taking the medicine in this way allows it to be absorbed very quickly to relieve your breakthrough pain. Breakthrough pain is additional sudden pain that occurs in spite of you having taken your usual opioid pain-relieving medicines. Keep using the opioid pain medicine you take for your persistent (around-the-clock) cancer pain during your Actiq treatment. Opioid medicines are those that contain active ingredients such as morphine, fentanyl citrate, codeine, methadone, oxycodone, pethidine or buprenorphine. The use of Actiq by people who are not taking prescription opioid medicines on a regular basis could result in life-threatening side effects. Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why Actiq lozenges have been prescribed for you. Your doctor may have prescribed it for another use. Actiq is only available on a doctor’s prescription. read more Download PDF Standard Print Download PDF Large Print
