Fentanyl Aurobindo 12 mcg/h Patch: What the Number Means and Who It Is For
- Pack: Loose plaster

The 12 mcg patch is the lowest fentanyl patch that is made. It releases 12.5 micrograms of fentanyl every hour for three days. The label rounds that down to 12 for a practical reason: 125 mcg per hour is itself a real dose, built up from several patches at once, and having 12.5 sit beside it on a chart was a mistake waiting to happen.

What is a fentanyl 12 mcg patch used for?
Long-standing pain in people who are already taking opioids around the clock. Cancer pain is the common setting. This is not the type of painkiller anyone reaches for after an operation, or to get through a bad week.
Not for anyone new to opioids. That is a contraindication, not a caution. A dose that a tolerant patient copes with can stop an opioid-naive person breathing. The 12 mcg patch is the only strength European regulators will even discuss in that situation, and only where oral opioids are not appropriate.
Three days at a time. The patch stays on for 72 hours, then comes off and a fresh one goes on somewhere else. Fentanyl takes a while to build up through the skin, so the first patch needs many hours to reach a steady level. Judging it on the first evening tells you nothing.
Side effects of the 12 mcg fentanyl patch. Nausea, constipation, drowsiness and itching under the patch are the common ones. Constipation is the side effect that will not go away with time. Slow or shallow breathing is different in kind, and it needs help straight away rather than waiting.

Common questions
Is fentanyl Aurobindo the same as Durogesic?
Aurobindo is the company that makes the patch. Durogesic, Matrifen, Mezolar, Fencino and the patches made by Mylan are other makes of the same medicine, sold under different names depending on the country. What matters is the drug in the patch and the rate at which it is released, not the name printed on the pouch.
Is a fentanyl 12 mcg patch a low dose?
Low for fentanyl, but not low in the ordinary sense. Even the lowest patch corresponds to a substantial daily dose of oral morphine, which is why it is kept for people already established on opioids. Conversion tables differ from one another on the exact figure, and that disagreement is a good reason to leave the sum to a prescriber.
Can someone new to opioids start on a fentanyl transdermal patch?
No. Someone who does not take opioids regularly has no tolerance to them, and a patch delivering fentanyl steadily for three days can be fatal in that situation. Treatment starts with oral opioids and moves to a patch later, once a stable daily requirement is known.
