WHAT PECFENT IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT PECFENT IS
PecFent contains fentanyl, which is a strong pain-relieving medicine
known as an opioid pain killer.
WHAT PECFENT IS USED FOR
PecFent is used in adults with cancer for a type of pain called
‘breakthrough’ pain.
•
Breakthrough pain comes on suddenly.
•
It comes on even though you have taken your usual opioid pain killer
(such as morphine,
fentanyl, oxycodone or hydromorphone) to control your constant
background pain.
PecFent is only to be used by adults who are already taking other
opioid medicines daily for their
constant cancer pain.
HOW PECFENT WORKS
PecFent is a nasal spray, solution
•
When you spray PecFent into your nose the very small spray droplets
form a thin gel.
•
Fentanyl is absorbed quickly through the lining of your nose and into
the blood stream.
•
This means the medicine gets into your system quickly to relieve your
breakthrough pain.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU USE PECFENT
