SANCHEZ DEL AGUILA, M. J. et al. Fast titration of tapentadol for the treatment of badly controlled pain. Rev. Soc. Esp. Dolor [online]. 2012, vol.19, n.1, pp.18-20. ISSN 1134-8046.
Background: tapentadol is a new drug with a centrally acting, dual action mechanism on MOR/NRI. It is effective on moderate to severe pain and shows a favourable side effects profile in comparison to other major opiates. This could allow a fast dose titration to achieve an earlier pain control. Material and methods: we present two cases on which we have performed a fast dose titration in hospitalised patients with bad pain control. This fast titration allowed an early control of the pain, in absence of side effects, achieving a shortening in their hospital stay. Conclusions: the favourable side effects profile of tapentadol, allows a fast dose titration, achieving an efficacious pain control in a shorter time lapse.
