New Durgaesic Patch

Hello All,
I have been on the brand name Duragesic Fentanyl Patch 100mc for close to 5 years. Recently, I filled my new prescription and noticed they changed everything about the Duragesic Patch. Has anyone else noticed this new development? I noticed it reminds me of the generic brand (which didn't work for me). I'm very worried that since they changed the design of the Brand what else did they change? I don't want like when they change medications that work for myself.
I checked Ortho-Janssen's website there isn't anything about the changes they made.

Can anyone help me????

Yes, I asked the pharmacist about the look and the package changing they didn't know anything about it.

I don't know about the effectiveness yet because I just put it on yesterday morning. I hope it's just as good I would hate to have to find something that will work.


Take Care,

SP

Sorry I cannot comment on your concern as I am not on the patch. Hopefully one of our members will have some information for you.

Did you discuss this with your pharmacist. Usually they are up on the changes that are made to both the "look" and the process of medications.

Is the patch as effective for you as the former version? Best of luck in your search for answers.

Take Care,
Tuck
