Event Description

Information was received from a healthcare provider (hcp) regarding a patient receiving intrathecal fentanyl 1,000 mcg/ml at 5,221 mcg/day via an implanted pump for non-malignant pain.The hcp was calling requiring troubleshooting.It was reported the patient was in the hospital last week reporting lower extremity weakness and was told to stop using her personal therapy manager (ptm).The patient was in the hospital again on the date of this report because she was still experiencing the weakness along with dizziness especially while standing and hypotension.The hcp would like to contact the local company representative (rep) so that he could lower the simple continuous dose.It was noted the patient was given a small dose of narcan and seemed to respond to it.It was reported this was a gradual change in therapy/symptoms.The weakness started on (b)(6) 2018 and worsening dizziness on (b)(6) 2018.No further complications were reported/anticipated or expected.
