Fentanyl Withdrawal After Duragesic Recall

August 29, 2008  
Filed under Fentanyl Side Effects, Medical Alerts

Duragesic Pain Patches in 25 micro-gram-per-hour doses were recently recalled due to a possible slit down one side that allows fentanyl, the patches active ingredient, to leak out.

Fentanyl is an opiate which is 80 times stronger than the widely known drug Morphine. The absorption or ingestion of too much fentanyl can cause a fentanyl overdose, but it can also cause patients to become addicted to the drug.

Due to the strong nature of fentanyl, patients may become addicted to Duragesic patches. Even patients who use the patches correctly may experience some signs of withdrawal.

Signs of Duragesic withdrawal include:

• Anxiety
• Rapid heartbeat
• Runny nose, sneezing, etc.
• Body aches and/or chills
• Sweating
• Yawning
• Nausea and/or vomiting
• Irritability, nervousness, etc.
• Shivering/trembling
• Insomnia
• Weakness
• Stomach cramps

If you or a loved one experience any of these symptoms or a sudden change in these symptoms contact a medical professional immediately.

If you have experienced fentanyl withdrawal or other serious side effects as a result of using recalled Duragesic patches contact McEwen Law Firm today.
