What should I do if I use the Actavis fentanyl patch?
If you currently use the Actavis fentanyl patch and are in possession of patches affected by the current recall, do not use these patches. It is important to dispose of these patches immediately by flushing them down the toilet. Experts caution against handling the product directly, but if you are exposed to the fentanyl gel, you should immediately wash the affected area with large amounts of water only. If you begin to feel any adverse reaction to the Actavis fentanyl patch, seek immediate medical attention. If you currently use the Actavis fentanyl patch, you are encouraged to contact your health care provider, who should be able to find you a safer, yet effective pain management solution.
