Default FDA Fentanyl Warning

Interesting email from Dr. Baumbach included a warning about use of Fentanyl transdermal patches. This is an update (posted last month) to a 2005 advisory.

I'm curious to hear from patch users. Were you told that running a fever of 102 or sunbathing with the patch on can cause dangerous levels of fentanyl to be delivered?

I hope this helps someone.
