Duragesic and Fentanyl

If the pain control patch Duragesic has been prescribed for you or for a family member, call our Birmingham law office today. Defective patches manufactured by Janssen Pharmaceutical Products, LP, leak high doses of fentanyl, the active ingredient in Duragesic patches. Fentanyl is one of the most potent narcotics available. It is a Schedule II controlled substance, and is up to 100 times stronger than morphine. It is a dangerous drug that can cause overdose and death. Contact our Alabama Duragesic lawyers at Gulas & Stuckey today to discuss filing a claim for injuries arising from the use of Duragesic.

Experienced Duragesic Patch Attorneys

Janssen Pharmaceutical Products, LP, has recalled several lots of pain control patches because of the Duragesic leak and the number of deaths and injuries that resulted. Our Duragesic injury lawyers have filed more than 30 Duragesic wrongful death claims and fentanyl patch lawsuits. We contend that fentanyl is a dangerous drug not clearly understood by medical providers and care-takers due to inadequate instructions from the manufacturer. Further, we believe that the dangers of fentanyl extend beyond the recalled defective Duragesic pain patches.

Consequences of Duragesic or Fentanyl Overdose

Leaking Duragesic pain control patches can release enough fentanyl to cause an overdose. Signs of a fentanyl overdose can include things like slowed breathing and heartbeat, pinpoint pupils, cold clammy skin, loss of or change in consciousness, and seizures. Seek medical attention immediately if you experience any of these side effects while using Duragesic. Speak with an attorney if you or a loved one has experienced serious injury or death as a result of Duragesic or fentanyl use.
