Hi there!
Anyone out there know why everyone's got so twitchy over generic prescribing of fentanyl patches!
I was always told that Lithium, Insulin, Diltiazem, Aminophylline etc. should never be generically prescribed as different presentations have different profiles and can cause toxicity/low serum level difficulties.
Any ideas why Fentanyl has been singled out for preferential treatment?
Backhanders somewhere perhaps? Or am I just getting cynical?
