Add to the recent recall of the Duragesic and generic fentanyl patches a voluntary recall of the Actavis Fentanyl Transdermal System. Citing the same basic problem as the other recalled fentanyl, (with packaging leaks), the company is pulling off 14 lots of their product sold in the US. The lots are listed below:

• 27261 (exp 05/09)
• 27317 (exp 05/09)
• 27318 (exp 06/09)
• 27319 (exp 06/09)
• 27391 (exp 06/09)
• 27409 (exp 06/09)
• 27475 (exp 07/09)
• 27476 (exp 06/09)
• 27488 (exp 06/09)

• 27537 (exp 08/09)
• 27538 (exp 08/09)
• 27545 (exp 07/09)

Unlike the Duragesic and the generic fentanyl, the Actavis products may be of any of the following dosages: 25 mcg/hr, 50 mcg/hr, 75 mcg/hr and 100 mcg/hr. So check your label for the dosage and lot number. The company warns not to handle the patch directly. If you have any of the above listed lot numbers, call: 1 (877) 422-7452.
