Fentanyl patches recalled
February 17, 2008
PriCara is recalling certain pain patches with an expiration date on or before December 2009. The recall covers all lots of 25 mcg/hr Duragesic (fentanyl transdermal system) CII patches sold by PriCara and all 25 mcg/hr fentanyl patches sold by Sandoz. PriCara explained that the patches are being recalled as they may have a cut along one side of the drug reservoir within the patch. Exposed fentanyl is dangerous to those who touch it and should be washed off with water, but not soap. Anyone with the Duragesic patches being recalled should call (800) 547-6446; for the Sandoz patches, call (800) 901-7236.
