This Pain Medication Could Kill You!

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued an alert Wednesday concerning the use of Fentora tablets to control cancer pain.
The FDA said it received reports of adverse effects, including death, linked to the use of Fentora (fentanyl buccal), a potent opioid pain medication used only for treatment of breakthrough pain in cancer patients receiving opioid treatment and who have become tolerant to it.
