Hello,
Fentanyl patch is safe and effective, it will give good pain relief. The only problem associated with the Fentanyl patch is that there is chance for dependency. If you are worried, you can opt for other analgesics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
