Matrifen® (transdermally applied fentanyl patch) provides pain relief to patients with prolonged or chronic severe pain. Following application of the patch to the skin, fentanyl is released into the systemic circulation by passive cutaneous diffusion.

Transdermally applied fentanyl has a high affinity for receptors located throughout the peripheral nervous system, the brain and the spinal cord, and binding to the receptors cause analgesia.

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.
