: Glendale Personal Injury LawyerFDA Advises Patients to Remove Skin Patches Before MRI
By Greg Owen
The FDA released a statement advising patients undergoing an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan to notify their doctor if they are wearing medicated skin patches. Some skin patches contain aluminum in the non-adhesive backing and as a result will conduct electricity causing burns at the patch site.
The FDA reports that fewer than half dozen patients have sustained such burns. All burns were reported by patients wearing nicotine patches, and none of the burns were serious.
