A renal starting-dose reduction does not establish patch eligibility

The renal instruction applies to a transdermal product reserved for already opioid-tolerant patients. It is not a starting opioid or a substitute IV fentanyl rule.

Before applying: Verify opioid tolerance, formulation and complete conversion instructions before applying the renal adjustment.

Also check: A renal starting-dose reduction does not establish patch eligibility

Rxlist source

GlobalRPh RX List - DURAGESIC

Product / population: Transdermal fentanyl for already opioid-tolerant patients; not IV or transmucosal fentanyl.
Renal measure: Mild/moderate versus severe impairment; no numeric cutoff in selected renal instruction.

RX mirror: this is not independent corroboration of its underlying label. Check dated-label and formulation limitations.

Renal dosing, restrictions and evidence limits

Avoid use in severe renal impairment. For mild-to-moderate impairment, begin with one-half of the usual starting patch dosage and titrate carefully, monitoring sedation and respiratory depression at each increase. This does not permit use in an opioid-naive patient, for acute pain, or as an as-needed analgesic. Complete opioid conversion and product eligibility requirements remain necessary.
