A fentanyl lawyer is the legal professional who can protect the rights of individuals and families who have been harmed by a Duragesic patch or other fentanyl product. Fentanyl is the active ingredient in several widely prescribed opioid painkilling medications, including:

• Duragesic patch: transdermal delivery of fentanyl
• Actiq: a solid lozenge containing fentanyl
• Fentora: tablets placed between the teeth and cheek

Fentanyl can also be prescribed in injection form. Injections of fentanyl citrate medication can be given intravenously, spinally, epidurally or intramuscularly for analgesia (pain relief) and anesthesia. If you have been harmed by the use of a Duragesic patch or any of these forms of fentanyl, contact a fentanyl lawyer in your area today to discuss your legal options.

When any of these forms of fentanyl is prescribed or administered incorrectly, or given without proper instructions, representation by a fentanyl lawyer may be necessary to gain legal compensation for damages suffered from fentanyl.

Millions of Fentanyl Prescriptions

Although the Duragesic patch and other fentanyl medications listed above are designed to be used only for people with chronic, intractable pain and an established tolerance to other opioids, sometimes a physician prescribes fentanyl for unauthorized, off-label uses such as treatment for:

• Migraine headaches
• Pain from surgery or an injury
• Severe but short-term pain

As a fentanyl lawyer can tell you, despite the known dangers and side effects of the Duragesic patch and other forms of fentanyl, the number of prescriptions of fentanyl has continued to increase in recent years — from about a half million prescriptions in 1994 to more than 7 million fentanyl prescriptions in 2006. Too often, the fentanyl is used incorrectly, perhaps at too strong a dose, or for the wrong reason, or for the wrong patient.

Fentanyl Damages

Whether because of a defective Duragesic patch or improper prescribing, fentanyl can cause serious damages and even death. Patients and/or their families can be left with losses that seem overwhelming:

• Medical bills
• Funeral and burial costs
• Emotional pain and suffering
• Loss of the emotional support of the loved one
• Loss of a family member's financial contribution
