RECALL: Durogesic transdermal patches

A number of batches of Durogesic (fentanyl) transdermal patches 25µg/h, 50µg/h, 75µg/h and 100µg/h are being recalled because stability samples have failed to meet specifications for ethanol content at 12 months, which may reduce transdermal delivery of the drug (Janssen-Cilag). There are 56 batches affected and the batch numbers are listed in a PDF file (260K).

The company says there is no expected imminent patient safety risk. Any remaining stock of these batches should be quarantined and returned to suppliers for credit or replacement.
