Fentora Side Effects

All prescription medications warn of potential side effects though each user may experience different symptoms. Fentora is a narcotic pain reliever containing fentanyl, a very powerful opioid. It’s used to treat breakthrough cancer pain that isn’t alleviated by other medications. Some side effects with opiate use, such as constipation, are well known and common. When used as prescribed, Fentora can still cause side effects, but the more serious ones are usually reported with misuse and overdose. Fentora can also cause allergic reaction, sometimes severe. Signs of this include itching, swelling, dizziness, rash and labored breathing. Side effects depend on the many factors including dose, previous exposure to opiates and the method by which users consume the drug.

Learn About Potential Fentora Side Effects

Whether taking Fentora at therapeutic levels or abusing it, many users report sluggish bowel movements. For many, constipation is a relatively mild and temporary condition easily treated with laxatives and changes in diet, exercise and water consumption.

Accelerated withdrawal takes place while the patient is sedated so they have no conscious awareness of it when they awake. The procedure takes less than two hours and total hospital stay is 2-4 days. With regular use of Fentora, stools can become rock hard, blocking the bowels. In severe cases, bowels can rupture, leading to sepsis or death. Doctors recommend:

  • Increasing fiber
  • Drinking more water
  • Exercising to prevent constipation.
 

It may also take new users’ bodies a few days to adjust when first starting a prescription. Side effects can include:

  • Sedation
  • Euphoria
  • Dizziness
  • Fatigue
  • Depression
  • Tremors
  • Sleeplessness
  • Anxiousness
  • Flu-like symptoms
  • Upset stomach
  • Dry mouth
  • Pupil constriction
  • Itching
  • Hallucination
