Actavis Encourages Consumers to Return Fentanyl Transdermal System 25 mcg/h
Date:11/3/2010

MORRISTOWN, N.J., Nov. 3, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Further to its previously announced voluntary recall of 18 lots of Fentanyl Transdermal System 25 mcg/hour C-II patches, Actavis is encouraging consumers to return any product in their possession from the October 21, 2010 recall.

Consumers with Actavis 25 mcg/h Fentanyl patches may call 1-877-422-7452 (24 hours/day, 7 days/week) for return instructions and information.

Actavis identified one lot of 25 mcg/hour Fentanyl patches (Control/Lot # 30349) shipped to market that contained one patch that released its active ingredient in laboratory testing faster than the approved specification. An accelerated release of Fentanyl from a 25 mcg/hour patch could lead to adverse events for at-risk patients such as children and the elderly, including excessive sedation, respiratory depression, hypoventilation (slow breathing), and apnea (temporary suspension of breathing).

The Control/Lot number appears on the bottom of the product box and on the black and white side of each individual patch packaging, in the lower left corner.
