Avoiding Accidental Exposure from Fentanyl Patches
A Fentanyl patch is a medication adhesive transdermal patch that is placed on the skin to deliver a specific dose of fentanyl through the skin. Improper disposal of these patches is a risk for diversion, illicit use and overdose. Accidental exposure to the patches can also cause serious harm to members of the public including children, pets, sanitation workers, as well as our water supply.
