The Duragesic Patch is one of the brands of Fentanyl delivery patches, which has experienced serious problems. It is manufactured by the pharmaceutical giant Johnson and Johnson. Fentanyl is a synthetic opiate meant to treat kinds of pain that other drugs are not sufficiently powerful to treat. The Fentanyl patch is meant to deliver the drug in a controlled way into the body so as to prevent overdose or inconsistency in dosage; however, serious health issues have occurred as a result of Duragesic. Some of these overdoses have resulted in fatalities.
Like the Actavis fentanyl patches, Duragesic patches can cause overdoses and have been know to have leaks that increase the dosage of the drug potentially causing an overdose. In 2005 Johnson and Johnson faced over 70 lawsuits from families of patients who have died as a result of Duragesic patches.
Serious side effects and warning signs of Duragesic include:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Constipation
- Dry Mouth
- Physical Weakness
- Impaired Mental Ability
- Sleepiness
- Addiction
- Drop in Blood Pressure
- Impaired Physical Ability

How the work begins
The first conversation is with the attorney, not an intake service. We look at the documents you already have, identify what is missing, and give a direct assessment of the position — including when the honest answer is that a claim is not worth bringing.
If we take the matter on, you receive a written engagement agreement setting out scope and fees before any work starts. Where a case crosses borders, we coordinate with counsel in the relevant jurisdiction rather than improvising outside our own.
