Fentanyl transdermal system and Cardiac failure - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Cardiac failure is reported as a side effect among people who take Fentanyl transdermal system (fentanyl), especially for people who are male, 50-59 old, also take Propofol, and have Gastroesophageal reflux disease.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Cardiac failure when taking Fentanyl transdermal system. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 5,639 people who have side effects when taking Fentanyl transdermal system from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
