Duragesic should never be used in situations where the right dosage hasn’t been established in advance—for instance, after an operation or an accident. It should not be used for mild or intermittent pain that responds to other painkillers. Duragesic should not be used in individuals who have a paralyzed bowel wall. The drug should also be avoided if it causes an allergic reaction. Duragesic should not be given to children under 2 years old or children who are not tolerant to narcotic painkillers.
