Fentora (fentanyl) is an opioid pain medication. An opioid is sometimes called a narcotic.

Fentora buccal tablets are used to treat "breakthrough" cancer pain that is not controlled by other medicines.

The tablets are used in the mouth but not swallowed whole. The tablet is placed inside the mouth between the cheek and gum (buccal) OR on the floor of your mouth, under your tongue (sublingual).

Fentora is not for treating pain that is not cancer-related.
