It is important to investigate deaths that were potentially caused by Fentanyl Patch to make sure that defective Fentanyl Patches are not being sold to the public and physicians are not improperly administering Fentanyl.  Because fentanyl is a strong narcotic painkiller, it is important that proper the drug

Fentanyl skin patches provide pain relief for many people who experience chronic pain, and who have been taking pain medications for long periods of time. However, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has posted a warning that deaths and other serious problems have resulted from accidental overdoses related to inappropriate use of the fentanyl patch.

The Fentanyl patch is applied to the skin and is designed to deliver fentanyl, a potent, strong opiate analgesic. The drug is slowly absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream and can relieve pain for up to three days from a single patch application.

Please keep in mind that after applying the first patch, it can take 12 to 18 hours to reach the peak of pain relief, with some early pain relief occurring at four to six hours after the first administration. 

The FDA is investigating deaths and overdoses that have occurred with both brand-name and generic fentanyl patches. The brand Duragesic (fentanyl transdermal system), manufactured by Janssen L.P. of Titusville, N.J., was approved by the FDA in 1990. A generic version, manufactured by Mylan Laboratories Inc. of Canonsburg, Pa., was approved in 2005.

Fentanyl Patch Recalls and Fentanyl Patch Overdoses

Several Fentanyl Patch Recalls have been made with warnings of defectively manufactured Fentanyl Patches that created a danger of administering large amounts of Fentanyl to patients that could cause a Fentanyl overdose. 

It is important to understand that Fentanyl patches that are leaking or damaged in any way should not be used. Exposure to fentanyl gel may lead to serious adverse events, including respiratory depression and possible overdose, which may be fatal. Anyone who comes in contact with fentanyl gel should thoroughly rinse exposed skin with large amounts of water only; do not use soap. Immediately dispose of affected patches that may be damaged or compromised in any way by flushing them down the toilet, using caution not to handle them directly. Damaged and/or compromised patches that have leaked gel will not provide effective pain relief.

Defective Medication Claims and Dangerous Drug Lawsuits

Medications can be extremely beneficial, but when they are used incorrectly, marketed for the wrong purpose, or dangerous side effects are hidden, defective drugs can cause serious problems and catastrophic damages.

In our modern society, the pharmaceutical companies have become extremely rich and powerful.  This pooling of resources into the pharmaceutical companies allows these large corporations to spend billions of dollars on developing new drugs.  The problem arises when after a substantial investment in a new drug, research shows that the drug is unsafe or has dangerous side effects.  Because of the substantial investment in the drug and the fact that many people's careers depend on the success of the drug, some pharmaceutical companies bury the negative research and market the drug regardless of the damages that it may cause.  In doing so, these drug companies can cause devastating health problems and death to those that are given their dangerous drug.

Defective drug claims fall into product liability law. Product Liability claims that stem from defective medications can be extremely complicated and expensive to develop.  Many of these defective medication claims have aspects of medicine, science, evidence, and law to investigate, examine, and prove.  To do this it is common to hire multiple experts to prove that a medication is defective and that it caused harm to a particular person or particular group of people.  For this reason many defective medication claims require severe damages and/or multiple injured parties to be viable.

Even when a dangerous medication has caused serious damages, it can be quite a fight to prove that a medication is defective.  Fighting through industry produced research and discovering hidden adverse research can be difficult.  This is because the product's manufacturer has typically invested a significant amount of money in designing the product, manufacturing the product, and marketing the product.  For some dangerous drugs billions of dollars have been invested in designing, manufacturing, marketing, and distributing the defective drug.  As such, everyone in the production and distribution lines have a stake in disproving that the medication is defective or dangerous.
