Mallinckrodt Fentanyl Patch (Page 5) (Top voted first)

Does anyone know how it is made? Does it have the medicine woven into the fabric of the patch or is it in a pouch form? Thank you.

Re: Richb69 (# 3)

I have used mallinkrodt for about 2 or 3 years with no problem. My pharmacy didn't have mallinkrodt so they sold me Alvogen, which are terrible. You can't remove them from the plastic backing without them falling apart in your hands. I called them and they told me to take them anyway. My pharmacist said NEVER to do that. So I was trying to find out who carried mallinkrodt.

I've used every generic of FENT patches & only Mal and Myl have worked for me (they last 3 days or 72 hrs & other generics ran out at @60 hrs!) tho I have not used them other than on skin. Without these I would be in hospital on IVs fro pain - or dead - due to severe lupus, RA joint pain plus whole body hurts like hell. I often wonder why the heck I have this!

I also have Lupus. Mine effects my internal organs and inhibits my ability to obsorb any form of calcium, therefore it has left me with very brittle bones resulting in a total cervical spine fusion (with 2 rods) and lower back fusion. When they fused the cervical spine, they inadvertently pushed a disk out and caused it to protrude into my esphosgus. Now I get food stuck in my throat (because the Lupus causes esophogical spasms) and end up throwing up until the stuck food is dislodged. Fun, right? I have been on fentanyl patches for over 8 years with great control of my pain. This month I was given a new brand by Mallinckrodt - to the tune of $800.00 + and I feel like I am in withdrawal and my pain is way out of control! Anyone else having this experience with this brand and if so, what did you do resolve it? Thanks any help would be useful.

I personally like the mallinckrodt ones better than any of the other 4 brands I have used including mylan. I get 30 of the 50mcg/hr ones per month.
