Fentanyl Gel Patch - Best Generic Pharmaceutical Companies

Are fentanyl gel patches better for pain relief than transdermal patches? What pharmaceutical companies make the gel patches and what would be the better company or companies to use? Thank you very much for your help.

I used to be on the mylan transdermal patch when I used cvs for my pharmacy but when I moved & switched to Walgreens they gave me the Actavis brand which is the gel pouch one.Walgreens uses two different brands, the Actavis gel pouch patch & I'm not sure the name of the other brand but it's the transdermal type & they even ask what yr preference is. I did notice a difference. The gel pouch ones seem to work much better. Hope this helps. Chronic pain sucks. Best of luck.

Actavis now makes only a matrix plastic patch, branded MATRIFEN. What about Richter DOLFORIN? I know that Sandoz patches are also, like DURAGESIC D-TRANS, plastic only. I am told that the US Mylan patch has now changed from gel to matrix.
