the skin? for 2 days or 3 days? And is there anywhere else to place the path likewise on the back? I hit tape marks every over the place, and burn marks from the tape, it's a mess from those dopy Fentanyl patches. Sometimes it rolls off and I can't place it back on. It costs most 200.00 for 2 boxes (5 per box) with no insurance. So how daylong is one patch good for? 2 or 3 days?

I undergo Yahoo users hate this answer: but it depends on the doctor who prescribed it to you. I have seen it prescribed for both instance periods in assorted patients. One was 72 hours; the another was 48. If you don't want to separate the question past your doctor, you could call the pharmacy. To ready it from rolling off, you could cover the patch with a straight dressing much as an Op-Site.

They're supposed to stay on for 3 days and you can put them on anywhere there isn't hair. Somewhere you don't really sweat is good as it helps to ready them on. I've institute on the upper limb or front of shoulder works well. You should also ready your hand over it for at small 30 seconds as this helps it to stick on better.

Seth, was wondering what kind of discompose you are using them for? If for backwards discompose you can get those muscles freed up to be without pain. If interior stuff it is the exclusive respond then.

It rattling depends on a some things 1) your discompose meds tolerance and how long you've been attractive narc discompose killers. 2) opiate and another strong discompose meds are very habit forming and if you've been using the patches for a while, then dynamical every 2 life rather than 3 would be more effective. If you've been attractive this med for a brief punctuation of time, then change it every 3 life because rattling the drug has 3 life worth of relief. Taking it soured too soon, you'll lose some of the drug that's still in there. Lastly it's rattling a preference. If you see that after 2 life the discompose comfort is dramatically diminishing, then change the patch every 2 life and let your doctor know so that he knows to fill it every 20 life instead of every 30 days.
