Painkiller patches recalled for overdose risk Painkiller patches recalled for overdose risk 2/12/08 Quote: WASHINGTON - Patches containing the prescription painkiller fentanyl were recalled Tuesday, because of a flaw that could cause patients or caregivers to overdose on the potent drug inside. Sold in the United States under the brand name Duragesic by PriCara and generically by Sandoz Inc., the recall includes all 25-microgram-per-hour patches with expiration dates on or before December 2009. Some of the patches may have a cut in the lining of the internal reservoir where the drug is stored in gel form. If the fentanyl gel leaks into the drug's packaging, it could cause a patient or caregiver to come into direct contact with this powerful "opioid" drug. This could result in difficulty breathing and a potentially fatal overdose. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23131945/ __________________

Fentanyl gas was used by authorities in the former Soviet Union to break up a hostage situation and resulted in many deaths of the hostages they were trying to save because they stopped breathing and,or had heart stoppage.. It's not something anyone not in a great deal of pain would be given under any circumstances and I don't think anyone could take it and drive anything legally, although I have heard of people taking Morphine Sulfate continuous dosage tablets (MSContin) for severe pain and still driving a car. OxyContin is also used about the same way. The patient becomes accustomed to the drug and can function better with it than without it because of severe pain.
