Weitz & Luxenberg Fentanyl lawyers can help those harmed by Fentanyl by Jason Wentworth

Renowned personal injury lawyers Weitz & Luxenberg are offering free fentanyl lawsuit reviews to those who have been harmed by fentanyl. Fentanyl is a potent drug. It was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1990 for use by people suffering from long term and severe pain and who have used another strong pain medicine continuously for a week or longer. Fentanyl is often prescribed as a fentanyl patch. The fentanyl patch delivers fentanyl through the patient's skin.
Fatal risks of Fentanyl Patch
Weitz & Luxenberg fentanyl lawyers would like consumers to know that fentanyl patches can lead to a fatal fentanyl overdose. In July 2005, the FDA issued a warning about the risk of fentanyl overdose from a fentanyl patch after receiving reports of at least 120 deaths. The FDA continued to receive additional reports of deaths from fentanyl patches which led to the issuance of a second FDA warning in December 2007. Fentanyl patch is sold as Duragesic and generic versions are sold by other manufacturers.
