Reservoir Design Concerns Spur Duragesic and Fentanyl Pain Patch Lawsuits
What is a Fentanyl Pain Patch Lawsuit?
Many patients who have been prescribed the fentanyl pain patch, a powerful pain reliever that dispenses pain medication into the bloodstream to provide long-lasting relief from chronic pain, have suffered side effects. The patch, which is designed to slowly release medication into the blood stream over 48 to 72 hours, sometimes malfunctions.A Closer Look at the Fentanyl Pain Patch
When the patches that release fentanyl malfunction, patients can overdose on dangerous drugs unknowingly. This can cause serious side effects, including:
- Decreased blood pressure
- Respiratory depression
- Coma
- Death
If you suffered from one or all of these side effects due to a fentanyl pain patch, or if you lost a loved one to a fentanyl overdose in Kentucky or Ohio, you may be able to pursue damages to include economic and non-economic damages. Although no amount of money can take away your pain or bring back your loved one, you will need money for your medical expenses, lost income, instances of pain and suffering, and more.
This is why victims of the fentanyl pain patch or their families can pursue a fentanyl pain patch lawsuit to collect such damages. Not only will the suit provide you with the compensation necessary, but it helps send the right message to drug companies – showing them their behavior is unacceptable.
When drug companies manufacturer products that are dangerous and cause harm to patients, they need to be held accountable for their wrongdoings.
Qualifying for the Fentanyl Patch Lawsuit
If you were affected by the fentanyl pain patch or the Duragesic skin patch (its brand-name equivalent), then you may qualify to file for a lawsuit. If you suffered an injury or if you lost a loved one because the fentanyl patch malfunctioned, allowing too much medication into your loved one’s body, you should find out about your rights.
Patients who were prescribed the fentanyl pain patch by doctors who did not check what other medications their patients were on are candidates for the fentanyl pain patch lawsuit. Additionally, patients who were prescribed these pain patches for short-term pain are also candidates for this lawsuit, as fentanyl pain patches should have only been prescribed to patients with chronic pain.
If patients were not informed about fentanyl overdose signs and symptoms, such as difficulties breathing, dizziness, inability to talk or walk normally, extreme sleepiness and feeling faint, then they may also have motives to file a suit.
