Actiq, containing fentanyl citrate, is a potent opioid analgesic formulated as a transmucosal lozenge, commonly referred to as a lollipop. Primarily prescribed for breakthrough pain in cancer patients already receiving opioid therapy, Actiq provides rapid pain relief through absorption in the mouth’s mucous membranes. Its high potency necessitates caution, and its use is generally limited to opioid-tolerant individuals.
