4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Treatment of non-malignant pain of moderate intensity when an opioid
is necessary for obtaining adequate analgesia.
_BuTrans_ is not suitable for the treatment of acute pain.
_BuTrans_ is indicated in adults.
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
_BUTRANS_ should be administered every 7th day.
_Patients aged 18 years and over_
The lowest _BUTRANS_ dose (_BUTRANS_ 5 microgram/hour transdermal
patch) should be used as the initial dose. Consideration
should be given to the previous opioid history of the patient (see
section 4.5) as well as to the current general condition and
medical status of the patient.
_ _
_Titration_
During initiation of treatment with _BUTRANS_, short‑acting
supplemental analgesics may be required (see section 4.5) as needed
until analgesic efficacy with _BUTRANS_ is attained.
During the titration process, the dose may be adjusted every 3-days
(72 hours). Thereafter, the 7-day dosing interval should be
maintained. Subsequent dosage increases may then be titrated based on
the need for supplemental pain relief and the
patient's analgesic response to the patch.
To increase the dose, a larger patch should replace the patch that is
currently being worn, or a combination of patches should
be applied in different places to achieve the desired dose. It is
recommended that no more than two patches are applied at the
same time, up to a maximum total dose of 40 microgram/hour _BUTRA
