Transdermal\napplication is well known for a variety of drugs, including\ncardiovascular drugs, antiemetics and hormones. Some              years\nago, first experience was also made with                              transdermally\nadministered opiates from which the transdermal               therapeutic\nsystem (TTS) fentanyl has now been approved by the              American\nFood and Drug Administration.\nThe book presents the results of the first international\nworkshop \"Transdermal Fentanyl\", held September 27 -28,\n1990 in Cologne, FRG. This workshop was intended to\nfacilitate a    critical evaluation of theoretical and clinical\nstudies with the new,       non-invasive fentanyl application and\nto provide an opportunity for an      exchange of ideas about its\nvalue for pain management, anaesthesiology and  future\ninvestigations in this field. Topics covered by the book             are\nphysiology of transdermal permeation, experience with                   other\ntransdermal systems, the present state of acute and chronic\npain  management and experimental and clinical studies with\ntransdermal fentanyl, with special concern to analgesic\nefficacy and side effects.\nReaders    will easily find out that the experts appreciated\ntransdermal analgesia but also warned against an uncritical\noptimism. TTS fentanyl can be a valuable  tool in the\nclinicians' armentarium against pain. It should be kept         in\nmind, however, that it represents a new administration mode,\nnot a   new drug, and that the sustained, non-invasive\napplication requires well    reflected diagnosis and good\ngeneral standards of pain management.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1991-10-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783540544401\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-642-76872-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 203.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44408178835596,"sku":"9783540544401","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783540544401.jpg?v=1755787418","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783540544401","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
