Yes, fentanyl and phenergan together can act as a respiratory suppressant and may shut down your respiratory drive. I learned this after my mother who uses fentanyl for pain related to her multiple sclerosis was given phenergan for bronchitis and a few days later was found not breathing in bed.

Yes, itching can be a normal side effect of using a fentanyl patch. This may occur due to skin irritation at the application site or as a reaction to the adhesive. If itching is severe or accompanied by other symptoms, it's important to consult a healthcare provider for evaluation and management.
Lidocaine patches and fentanyl patches serve different purposes and have distinct mechanisms of action. Lidocaine patches are primarily used for localized pain relief by providing a numbing effect, while fentanyl patches are opioid analgesics used for managing severe pain and have systemic effects. Fentanyl patches are more potent and can lead to significant side effects and potential for addiction, whereas lidocaine patches are generally considered safer with less systemic impact. Thus, their effects and uses are not directly comparable.
Yes, fentanyl can cause itching as a side effect, particularly in a postoperative setting. This itching is often due to the drug's effect on opioid receptors, which can trigger histamine release or other mechanisms. While not everyone experiences this side effect, it is relatively common with opioids. If itching occurs, it can usually be managed with antihistamines or by adjusting the pain management regimen.
