Duragesic Pain Patches

Duragesic pain patches have been recalled. Janssen Pharmaceutica Products has recalled five lots of Duragesic, fentanyl transdermal system, CII 75 mcg per hour patches. The recall is due to a potential medication leak that could lead to a fatal drug overdose.

A Duragesic CII patch is available only by prescription. The patch is used to treat moderate to severe pain by releasing a strong pain medication - fentanyl - into the body through the skin. Delivered in this manner, fentanyl can relieve pain for up to 3 days.

The leak of fentanyl can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, drowsiness, weakness, and dry mouth. Leakage may also lead to inadequate dosing resulting in lack of treatment or withdrawal symptoms. Serious injuries include death, coma, and cardiac arrest.

The recalled Duragesic lots have the following control numbers:

  • 0327192
  • 0327193
  • 0327294
  • 0327295
  • 0330362
