What Causes Diarrhea And Nausea After Replacing A Fentanyl Patch?
I am on a fentanyl patch 25 mg It seems like when I replace the patch after 72 hours I get diarrhea and feel nausea and a lot of pain in my chest and back. I have lung cancer that has spread last year so I m on keytruda for a little over a year. Are there any other side effects I should worry about?ethelfinnertya
