	Duragesic Online, Description, Chemistry, Ingredients - Fentanyl Transdermal - RxList Monographs
		DURAGESIC® should ONLY be used in patients who are already receiving opioid therapy, who have demonstrated opioid tolerance, and who require a total daily dose at least equivalent to DURAGESIC® 25 mcg/h.

		DURAGESIC® is a rectangular transparent unit comprising a protective liner and four functional layers.

	Duragesic - Hill Toriseva & Williams - Vioxx, Guidant, Medtronic, Prescription Drug & Medical Device Litigation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Duragesic is a transdermal system providing continuous systemic delivery of fentanyl, a potent opioid analgesic, for 72 hours.
		Duragesic is approved by the FDA for use in the management of chronic pain in patients who require continuous opioid analgesia for pain that cannot be managed by lesser means such as acetaminophen-opioid combinations, nonsteroidal analgesics, or "as needed" dosing with short acting opioids.
		This combination of text and graphics is willfully misleading and deceptive, because it conveys the impression that Duragesic is associated with less constipation, nausea, and vomiting than oral opioids, which are absorbed by the GI tract, and there is no substantial evidence or substantial clinical experience to support it.

	Duragesic - Welcome. What is DURAGESIC? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The DURAGESIC patch should only be used when other less potent medicines have not been effective and when pain needs to be controlled around the clock.
		This risk should be considered when administering, prescribing, or dispensing DURAGESIC ® in situations where the healthcare professional is concerned about increased risk of misuse, abuse or diversion.
		Because serious or life-threatening hypoventilation could result, DURAGESIC® is contraindicated for use on an as needed basis (i.e., prn), for the management of post-operative or acute pain, or in patients who are not opioid-tolerant or who require opioid analgesia for a short period of time.
