Hi everyone,
I wanted to ask those who know about pharmacology, or anyone who has fairly reliable data on fentanyl patches used in the mouth (since there are no studies as the patch is designed to be used on the skin).
1. Does the dose contained in the patch, if kept in the mouth for a sufficient time between the cheek and the tooth (let's say 3 or 4 hours), release all the fentanyl contained in the patch?
2. Having to do the hair test as they are being treated at a center that delivers methadone, can they understand that the patch is not used correctly, on the skin? (And here we go back to point 1; how much of it would be absorbed by the oral mucosa? On the skin 75 mcg/h in 3 days delivers 5.4 mg. of fent, but the patch contains 12.6 mg. practically more than double!
My Considerations:
One 75 mg/h Durogesic patch contains 12.6 mg fentanyl base.
Dividing it (example) into 4 parts should release 3.15 mg. of fent.
But from my experience I notice that the first hour/ two hours are the ones that release the most of the drug.
So I wonder: is the entire fent released in the patch? Or is there still a kind of "block", which prevents him from dispensing it entirely?
Having previously used PecFent nasal spray 800 mcg (fentanyl citrate), which has a bioavailability of about 80-90%, the effects were obviously faster, but also different when compared to 1/4 patch (3.15 mg.): greater euphoria, less sedative effect.
If anyone has the knowledge to answer me, or even his experiences (only pharmaceutical fent, not those time bombs they sell on the street), I thank him sincerely, so that he can also adjust me for a gradual decrease in doses.
Hi and thank you
PS. I hope you understand the message, and that I did not make too many mistakes, as my English is not good and I used a bot for translations.
