ACTIQ is a prescription medication primarily used for managing breakthrough cancer pain in patients who are already receiving and are tolerant to around-the-clock opioid therapy for their underlying persistent cancer pain. This medication comes in the form of a lozenge on a handle (often referred to as a “lollipop”) that dissolves in the mouth, allowing the active ingredient, fentanyl, to be absorbed through the oral mucosa directly into the bloodstream.
ACTIQ is specifically designed for patients who are opioid-tolerant, meaning they are accustomed to the effects of opioids and need a higher dose to achieve pain relief. The medication is potent and fast-acting, typically beginning to relieve pain within minutes. Due to its potency, ACTIQ is only prescribed under strict medical supervision and with careful dosage control to minimize the risk of overdose and severe side effects.

Fentanyl, the active ingredient in ACTIQ, is a synthetic opioid that is significantly more potent than morphine. Its high potency makes ACTIQ highly effective for pain management but also increases the risk of dependence and addiction.

Recognizing the signs of dependence is crucial for early intervention. Symptoms may include:
The opioid crisis has highlighted the devastating impact of opioid dependence on individuals, families, and communities. ACTIQ, due to its potency, has been a significant contributor to this crisis.
