WHAT INSTANYL IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Instanyl contains the active substance fentanyl and belongs to a group
of strong painkillers called
opioids. Opioids act by blocking the pain signals to the brain.
Instanyl acts rapidly and is used for relieving breakthrough pain in
adult cancer patients already treated
with opioids for their usual pain. Breakthrough pain is an additional
sudden pain that occurs despite
you having taken your usual opioid pain relieving medicines.
