Removing Duragesic Fentanyl Pain Patch

August 12, 2008  
Filed under Fentanyl Side Effects, Medical Alerts

Duragesic Fentanyl Pain Patches in 25 micro-gram-per-hour doses were recently recalled due to the possibility of a cut down one side of the patch which allows excess fentanyl to leak out.

The absorption of excess fentanyl can cause serious side effects, withdrawal, and death in patients.

Recalled Duragesic Pain Patches have an expiration date on or before December 2009.

If you believe you are currently using a recalled Duragesic fentanyl Pain Patch:

  • Remove the patch using gloves, a tissue, or other material to prevent contact with the patch
  • Rinse hands using water only.  The use of rubbing alcohol or other substance will cause faster absortion of the fentanyl.
  • Fold the patch and  flush it down the toilet.
  • Contact a care giver immediately so that a non-defective patch may be applied and withdrawal may be prevented.

As in any medical situation it is extremely important to contact professional, medical, advice before removing patches or changing treatment. Medical advice should also be sought in the case of severe side effects, or a change in side effects or withdrawal.
