The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that drugmakers have decided to stop selling a type of fentanyl painkiller, known as transmucosal immediate release fentanyl (TIRF) medications, at the end of this month. The decision follows decades of investigations and lawsuits against the drugmakers who had aggressively marketed the fast-acting and powerful painkillers. The FDA stated that there are fewer than 150 patients receiving treatment with TIRF medicines, and patients who are currently on one of these medicines may continue treatment while the supply is available.
