Duragesic is a narcotic painkiller used for severe pain relief. This product is manufactured by Janssen Pharmaceutical Products. The medication is in the form of a patch which is worn on either the back or the chest. The medication is supposed to travel from the patch, into the bloodstream over an extended period of time, delivering consistent relief to the patient.

Unfortunately, on July 15, 2005 the FDA issued a public health advisory for defective Duragesic pain patches in response to a number of reports of serous side effects, including:

• damage to the cardiovascular system
• damage to the central nervous system
• respiratory failure
• cardiac arrest
• death
