WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. regulators are investigating reports of deaths in patients who were using pain patches that contain the narcotic fentanyl, the Food and Drug Administration said on Friday.
Johnson & Johnson sells fentanyl patches under the brand name Duragesic, and generic versions also are available. Johnson & Johnson told doctors in June it was adding warnings to the Duragesic label about the potential for abuse and misuse of the product.
