Sam Roberts, New York Times; Ted Stanley, Whose Fentanyl Lollipop Treated Chronic Pain, Dies at 77
"The lollipop version was invented by Dr. Stanley and Brian I. Hague in 1983 and approved by federal regulators in 1998 to treat cancer pain under the name Actiq.
Their patent was assigned to the University of Utah Research Foundation.
The product was considered a breakthrough because it could be sucked or swabbed in the mouths of patients, including children and old people, who had an aversion to vaccinations or had difficulty swallowing pills."
