>> Information on the 72 hour fentanyl treatment patch Matrifen®

The 72 hour fentanyl treatment patch belongs to the group of opioids, and transdermal fentanyl has been shown to have fewer side effects compared to morphine tablets and other oral formulations of opiod analgesics.

The transdermal fentanyl patch is a 72 hour fentanyl treatment for patients with severe pain. The fentanyl drug load is less than in other products, adding to a high degree of safety and low environmental burden.

About Nycomed
Nycomed is driving a new way of providing pharmaceutical products in Europe. Physicians are seeking new treatments that make a clear medical difference. But traditional pharmaceutical companies, with a single research department, are finding it harder to meet this need.
