The nonadhesive backing of some drug patches contains aluminum or other metals that may become heated during an MRI. Many labels for such products already warn of such a risk; however, the FDA was recently alerted that Teva Pharmaceutical's fentanyl transdermal system lacked this warning. Further investigation by the agency revealed that a warning is also missing from the labels of a variety of other medicated patches.
