Lazanda nasal spray contains fentanyl, an opioid pain medication. An opioid is sometimes called a narcotic.

Lazanda nasal spray is used to treat "breakthrough" cancer pain. It is used together with other non-fentanyl narcotic pain medicine that is used around the clock.

This medication is not for treating pain that isn't cancer-related, such as pain from surgery, dental work, or migraine headaches.

Unless given in a hospital, Lazanda is available use only under a special program. You must be registered in the program and understand the risks and benefits of using this medication.

• Generic Name: nitric oxide
• Dosage Forms: gas
• Other Brand Names: Inomax

Used in conjunction with ventilatory support and other appropriate therapy to improve oxygenation and reduce the need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in term or near-term (>34 weeks of age) neonates with hypoxic respiratory failure and clinical or ECG evidence of pulmonary hypertension.

Most effective in patients with severe persistent pulmonary hypertension who have minimal underlying parenchymal lung disease (idiopathic persistent pulmonary hypertension).

Least effective in neonates with pulmonary hypoplasia (e.g., congenital diaphragmatic hernia).

Has been used with good results (i.e., decreased the incidence of severe intraventricular hemorrhage and periventricular leukomalacia) in premature neonates (<34 weeks’ gestation) who were undergoing mechanical ventilation for respiratory distress syndrome.
