The role of tapentadol as a strong opioid in cancer pain management: a systematic and critical review.
Authors: Mercadante S Abstract The aim of this review was to assess the role of tapentadol given at medium-high doses in opioid-tolerant patients for cancer pain management in place of step-3 analgesics. A systematic literature search was performed out of which six studies and one secondary analysis provided data regarding tapentadol used as a step- 3 analgesic for this review. Tapentadol, when used at ≥ 60 mg of oral morphine equivalents in opioid-tolerant patients with cancer pain, or passing from step-2 doses to ≥ 60 mg of oral morphine equivalents, was well tolerated and effective and could be considere...
