CLINICAL PARTICULARS

THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Dzuveo is indicated for the management of acute moderate to severe
pain in adult patients.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Dzuveo is to be administered by a healthcare professional in a
medically monitored setting only. A
medically monitored setting must have equipment and personnel trained
to detect and manage
hypoventilation, and availability of supplemental oxygen and opioid
antagonists, such as naloxone.
Dzuveo should only be prescribed and administered by healthcare
professionals who are experienced
in the management of opioid therapy; particularly opioid adverse
reactions, such as respiratory
depression (see section 4.4).
Posology
Dzuveo is provided in a disposable single-dose applicator, to be
administered by a healthcare provider
as needed by the individual patient, but no more than once every hour,
resulting in a maximum dose of
720 micrograms /day. Patients with a higher pain intensity at one hour
after sufentanil treatment was
initiated required more frequent redosing compared to patients with
lower pain intensity scores at
one
hour.
Dzuveo should not be used beyond 48 hours.
_Elderly_
No specific dose adjustment is required in elderly patients. However,
elderly patients should be
observed closely for adverse reactions of sufentanil (see section
5.2).
_Hepatic or renal impairment_
Sufentanil should be administered with caution to patients with
moderate to severe hepatic or severe
renal impairment (see section 4.4).
_Paediatric population_
The safety and efficacy of sufentanil in children and adolescents
below 18 years have not been
established. No
