Authors' recommendations:
Fentanyl (PecFent®) is recommended as an option for use within NHS Wales for the management of breakthrough pain in adults who are already receiving maintenance opioid therapy for chronic cancer pain.
Fentanyl (PecFent®) should be initiated by, and remain under the supervision of, a specialist physician experienced in the management of opioid therapy in cancer patients.
AWMSG is of the opinion that fentanyl (PecFent®) may be suitable for shared care within NHS Wales for the above indication.
