This really freaks me out. I stopped using these patches about three months ago when I began to feel depressed and really doped up from them. I’m so glad I did!
On Tuesday, February 12, 2008, PriCara, the manufacturer of transdermal fentanyl (Duragesic®), announced that supply lots of their 25mcg/hr patches were recalled due to a flaw in the cut of one edge. To be aware that some patches may unintentionally expose patients directly to the medication gel (because the integrity of the barrier could be compromised), these lots as well as those manufactured by ALZA and sold by Sandoz have been voluntarily recalled to remove them from the market place. Other strength patches (12.5, 50, 75 and 100 mcg/hr) are not affected.
