Duragesic, like any medicine, is only dangerous to those who misuse it or don't respect its potency. Typically those who it affects adversely are those who aren't opiate tolerant, and the drug is specifically intended for patients who have already been on high doses of opiates previously.

The FDA has no plans to withdraw it, though manufacturers have been working on the delivery system so that the patches can't be misused or the fentanyl extracted.

No, the Fentanyl transdermal system (Duragesic) is not dangerous in and of itself. However, it is a potent opioid medication that can be harmful if not used appropriately or if misused. The FDA has not withdrawn Duragesic, but they have issued warning labels and safety information regarding its use to minimize the risk of misuse and accidental overdose.

What is Fentanyl 25mcg per hour?

This refers to a Fentanyl Transdermal patch, which is commonly used for chronic pain patients like myself that need continuous long-term opiate therapy. It is regulated by body heat, and is extremely effective. There are several doses - 12.5, 25, 50, 75 and 100mcg patches, all of which can be used with one another to make specific dosages. For example, though my normal dose is 100mcg, I typically have to use 200mcg, so I'll use 2 100mcg patches.
