A Duragesic pain patch, known generically as a fentanyl transdermal patch, is a prescription pain patch used to treat moderate to severe chronic pain by slowly releasing a strong pain medication into the body through the skin. Manufactured by Janssen Pharmaceutica Products, the FDA recalled several lots of the Duragesic patch in July 2005, due to a potential medication leak that could lead to a fatal drug overdose.
