Fentanyl information

Fentanyl was first developed in Belgium at the enf of 1950’s. It has the ability to reduce pain 80 times more than morphine. I’m an RN and have seen it used for many uses, from cardiac surgery, control of cancer pain and alleviating pain in the dying. I was very concerned about discovering the fentanyl recall. Only the 25 microgram boxes dated on or before Dec 2009 were recalled because of a potential cut or tear resulting in leakage of the gel. It is estimated that two patches out of every million included in the recall have the defect that causes the leak. This is a very small percentage. Direct contact to the skin could cause difficulty in breathing or overdose. If you or a loved one have experienced side effects related to this go to this website www.fentanylclaimcenter.org. They will be able to determine if you have a legitimate claim
