Fentanyl Pain Patch Lawsuits

Fentanyl is a strong pain medication prescribed to individuals experiencing chronic pain. A common delivery system is through the use of a Fentanyl Pain Patch which is designed to provide a slow release of the drug. Fentanyl Pain Patches are manufactured by Johnson & Johnson, Duragesic, Sandoz, Alza Corporation, Watson, Actavis and Mylan and come in dosages from 12.5 - 100 mcg/hr. 

The Fentanyl Pain Patch can become deadly when it fails to administer the Fentanyl in a slow and controlled manner. This can occur if the patch is defective or leaks an excess amount of the drug onto the skin. These deaths may occur quickly, with no warning or opportunity for the victim to remove the patch, alert their family or seek medical help.

Victims of the Fentanyl Pain Patch can come from all walks of life. Individuals who are otherwise healthy can easily succumb to an overdose of the medication caused by a patch malfunction. Versions of the Fentanyl Pain Patch have even been recalled by the FDA. Although there has been a steady progression of related deaths around the country, the drug manufactures have continued to market and sell the Fentanyl Pain Patch and have made millions in profits.
