Onsolis (fentanyl buccal soluble film) Information

Onsolis contains fentanyl, an opioid pain reliever, in a small film that sticks to the inside of your cheek and eventually dissolves within 15 to 30 minutes after it is applied. Onsolis is used to manage breakthrough pain (flare-up of pain occurring in patients with otherwise stable, constant pain) in patients with cancer, 18 years of age and older, who are already using another opioid pain medicine around-the-clock and whose body is used to the medicine (opioid-tolerant).
