OT?- International Members

[Guest guest]

To any members outside the USA. Would you mind answering some questions?

Which country are you from?

I'm wondering what pain treatment is like around the world. Are patients in

other companies treated like drug addicts or criminals instead of patients?

Do you have trouble finding someone willing to prescribe for you? Do you

have do submit to urine drug testing?

Are intrathecal pain pumps used in your country? Is it difficult to find a

doctor willing to manage them?

Is Actiq or another immediate release fentanyl product (any fentanyl

product other than the patches) available in your country? Are doctors

willing to prescribe it? Is it only for cancer patients? Is it covered by

insurance or national health coverage (if applicable).
