As far as concerns with Fentanyl transfer to a female during conception, it's a non-issue. The only real concerns are for nursing mothers using Fentanyl themselves, since Fentanyl is excreted in breast milk. No congenital defects have ever been reported by women who were using Fentanyl during pregnancy.

What test is used to check the level of medication in your system while using a duragesic patch?

I have been using Duragesic (fentanyl patches) for severe chronic pain caused by RSD since September 14, 2002. When my primary care doctor used a urine drug test to find out if I was really using my Duragesic patches, the test came back negative, even thoigh I really WAS using my patches. However, a blood test did show the level of fentanyl present in my blood. The funny thing is that the level of fentanyl in my blood is higher when I use my 125 mcg brand name patches from Janssen than when I use my 125 mcg generic patches from Sandoz, Mylan, and other generic manufacturers, whose names I do not remember.


What are the different Fentanyl strengths?

Fentanyl is available in various strengths, commonly measured in micrograms per hour (mcg/hr) for transdermal patches and in micrograms per milliliter (mcg/mL) for injectable forms. Transdermal patches typically come in strengths such as 12, 25, 50, 75, and 100 mcg/hr, while injectable fentanyl can be found in concentrations like 50 mcg/mL and higher. The potency of fentanyl is significantly greater than that of morphine, making precise dosing crucial to avoid overdose. Always consult a healthcare professional for appropriate use and dosing.


Can you use a tanning bed or bronzing bed with a 25mg Fentanyl patch?

Using a tanning bed or bronzing bed while wearing a 25mg Fentanyl patch is not recommended. Fentanyl can cause skin sensitivity and increased risk of adverse reactions, and the heat from tanning beds may affect the patch's effectiveness or lead to increased drug absorption. It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before using such devices while on this medication.

How does Fioricet with Codeine interact with Fentanyl patches?

Duragesic (Fentanyl Transdermal) patches are used for Primary Chronic Pain; they last for up to 3 days depending on the patient and tolerance level. For example, I'm one of a small percentage of the population that only gets 48 hours from my patches, and that's due to my high tolerance level - I've been using them for 9 years. Percocet (Oxycodone and Tylenol) is used for Breakthrough Pain - Breakthrough Pain is that pain which the patient feels after activity causes pain being controlled by the patches to exceed the pain controlling capability of the Fentanyl. Percocet, being an Acute pain drug, is used to compensate for the temporary increase in pain. The combination of Fentanyl patches and Percocet is very common - I myself have used the combination in varying strengths and doses for a very long time. While I'm currently using the strongest doses available, at times I've had to increase my dosages and augment them with other opiates such as Demerol and MS Contin.
