In reply to Elizabeth/shelliR,anyone- Actiq, posted by judy1 on December 7, 2001, at 19:23:55
Judy --
Actiq is just a fentanyl lozenge. You dissolve it slowly in your mouth, just like a cough drop, and it's absorbed by the mucosal membranes in your mouth. You're supposed to dissolve it over about a 15-minute period. It begins to work very rapidly, and I would expect it to be very short-acting.
