Fentanyl is a pain medication that is very strong and is reserved for patients who are in extreme, chronic pain. It is usually prescribed when milder pain medicines no longer help. Fenatnyl is said to be more potent than morphine, which is a very powerful pain reliever. Fentanyl patches are supposed to release medication so that they need only be changed every couple of days. However, a design flaw would sometimes cause a tear in the patch, allowing Fentanyl to leak, resulting in a Fentanyl overdose. If you or a loved one has been injured by a Fentanyl patch, you are not alone and should contact a Fentanyl attorney at the Edwards Law Firm immediately to see if you have a claim.
SIDE EFFECTS OF THE FENTANYL PAIN PATCH
Most side effects associated with Fentanyl are caused by the patch releasing too much Fentanyl at once, instead of on a one time-released basis, causing overdoses. A Fentanyl overdose can be extremely dangerous and even fatal, as reported by the FDA. Over 100 deaths have been reported that are linked to this patch. Symptoms of a Fentanyl overdose include:
- Nausea
- Confusion
- Fainting
- Dizziness
- Breathing difficulty
- Loss of motor skills
