Fentadol 12, 25, 50, 75, 100

/ Perrigo

Each patch is intended for 3 days of treatment (72 hours) only. The patch should be Replaced every 72 hours, unless the doctor has instructed otherwise. Due to slow absorption of the medicine to the skin, the effect of the preparation may not be apparent immediately after applying the first patch. Sometimes, the maximal effect is only apparent 24 hours after applying the first patch. Therefore, additional painkillers on the first day of treatment may be needed.
See prescribing information for full details.
