Need pharmacy that carries Johnson and Johnson Duragesic Patch

[Opalessence]

Where can I get my Johnson and Johnson Duragesic prescription filled?

You may be having some problems because over the past few years, pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson has face quite a few problems with their products. Indeed there appears to be some litigation and unfortunately a few deaths. Apparently they have had several recalls of the fentanyl patch. I am guessing that companies may be reluctant to carry this product but I really don't know.

Sorry we cannot tell you where this product is carried and where you can purchase it. If the manufacturer is unwilling or unable to provide you with this information we obviously don't have it.

Sorry for inconvenience you are experiencing.  I wish you the best in your search.

I find it odd that J&J won't provide you with any information regarding where to purchase their duragesic patches.  I am on Opana ER and if you go to their website, http://www.opana.com, they actually have a pharamacy locator on the website.  

Is there some other brand of the fentanyl patch that is available at one of your pharmacies?  Is your prescription specifically written for the J&J duragesic patch?  If your prescription is specifically written such that you can only fill that brand of duragesic patches, I would take the prescription back to the doctor after you have found a pharmacy that carries some other brand of duragesic patches, and have your doctor rewrite your prescription for that specific brand of duragesic patches.  

Another option is to ask if one of your local pharamacies can order the J&J duragesic patches for you.  

Do you have insurance that offers a mail order pharmacy?  I have prescription drug coverage through a mail order pharmacy and retail pharmacies.  Almost always, mail order pharmacies carry every kind pain medication available.

J & J cannot or will not supply information as to where their products are supplied.  I called them first and have called all the pharmacies you list plus with negative results - that is why I posted the question.  Thank you

Hi Opalessence,

Contacting the manufacturer should prove the quickest way to find the closest pharmacy that carries their product. Often they will go ther extra mile to help you so they can sell their product(s).

Good Luck to You,

You really need to just call around to Walmarts, Sams club, Costco, Target, and all your local grocery stores, and any mom and pop pharmacies...

Did you call J&J and ask who they sell to?

That should have you on your way...
