Eficacia analgésica del citrato de fentanilo oral transmucosa en el dolor rectal irruptivo de pacientes oncológicos

Although our series is small and our results are therefore preliminary, we can recommend OTFC as the ideal analgesic due to its speed of onset and safety in the treatment of rectal defecation breakthrough pain. OTFC is easy and comfortable to administer and is short lasting. This option can be used by patients outside the home, thus preserving their independence. OTFC can be considered for the relief of breakthrough pain of other etiologies (oncological and non-oncological) in outpatients.
