Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0164151A1] The present invention is directed towards methods and apparatus using controlled heat to regulate transdermal and controlled release to rapidly deliver fentanyl, other analgesics, and other substances to a patient. The invention comprises a drug beneath a patient's skin in a drug depot. A heating component is placed near the drug depot site and generates heat in and near the drug depot site. A control component connected to the heating component is used to control the magnitude and duration of heat generated by the heating component.
