I’m concerned about my Butrans patch while having an MRI of my foot. Does it contain any metal or substance that could cause burning in the MRI
Do Butrans transdermal patches contain metal?

"Although the Butrans® Transdermal System, when properly applied to a patient’s skin, does not contain metallic foil, the manufacturer was aware of at least 1 post-marketing report from a patient who reported a burn under the system after an MRI scan (Purdue written communication. June 21, 2019).
Although verbal communication with a medical information representative confirmed that the patch does not contain metallic components, the manufacturer recommended removal of the patch prior to MRI."
