Sugar In Actiq

Does anyone know why Actiq cannot be sugar free? It works pretty well for my migraines but it's doing a number on my teeth. I know that Fentora is sugar free, but have heard it doesn't work as well and is not as long lasting as Actiq.

I can't find any details on this, but my first guess is that it probably has to do with disguising the taste of the medication. Fentanyl is a narcotic and they are known to be very bitter and it would take a lot to make sure that they didn't completely gross someone out.

In addition, the use of actual sugars as a sweetener opens them up to a much broader market, as many people can't use artificial sweeteners for various reasons.

Any regular, long-term use of narcotics will harm your teeth, which is why most drug addicts or long-term pain management patients end up losing theirs or suffering with severe damage, if they can't afford good dental care. Narcotics tend to leach minerals from your body and they also cause dry mouth, which allows bacteria to sit on your teeth.

I am a prime example of this, because I was on pain management for many years and my teeth are no in horrendous shape, but I have no insurance to do anything about it.
