Hi! Duragesic patches deliver a continuous dose of the potent narcotic painkiller fentanyl for a period of three days. The patches are prescribed for chronic pain when short-acting narcotics and other types of painkillers fail to provide relief. Duragesic Patch has been linked to a number of deaths from overdoses of fentanyl, which can suppress the respiratory system. Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, tell doctor as soon as possible. Only doctor can determine if it is safe to continue using Duragesic.
