Defective Fentanyl Patch Lawyer,
Fentanyl Patch Death Lawyer, Fatal Fentanyl Lawsuit
Lawyer, Fentanyl Medical Negligence Lawyer, and
Fentanyl Overdose Lawyer (Fentanyl Patch Lawsuits)
Fentanyl
is a strong narcotic painkiller that is now commonly
administered in a “patch.” The Fentanyl Patch is a
preferred method of delivery because if the patch is
properly designed, manufactured, and administered, the
dosage of the drug can provide a consistent dose of the
drug. However, when the Fentanyl Patch is defective or
improper amounts of the Fentanyl are administered the
Fentanyl overdose can lead to death.
If you or a loved one have
been injured or exposed to a damaged Fentanyl Patch seek
medical assistance. If you
have lost a loved one from a defective Fentanyl Patch or you
have been seriously injured by a defective Fentanyl Patch, feel free to
submit an
inquiry or
send an e-mail to Texas
defective Fentanyl Patch Lawyer Jason Coomer.
Fatal Fentanyl Patch Lawsuit Information, Defective
Fentanyl Patch Lawsuit Information, and Fentanyl Death
Lawsuit Information
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.
Defective Medication Lawsuits, Bad Drug Lawsuits, and
other Drug Product Liability Lawsuits (Texas Dangerous
Defective Drug Lawyer)
Dangerous
drug lawsuits, defective drug lawsuits, and other defective
drug product liability lawsuits are becoming more
common as drug companies and the pharmaceutical industry continue to produce,
market, and sell drugs that they know cause devastating
health problems. Some common defective drug lawsuits
have included Prempro
Lawsuits, Reglan
Tardive Dyskinesia Lawsuits,
Defective Birth Control
Lawsuits, Avandia Lawsuits,
Ketek Lawsuits,
Gadolinium Contrast Dye
Lawsuits, Antidepressant (SSRI) drug Lawsuits, and
other defective
drug and medication
Lawsuits. Defective and dangerous drugs can cause
devastating health problems or even death.
