Re: JoAnn/Duragesic patches

[Guest guest]

My doctor said that the medical tape should only be used around the

very edges where the adhesive is only. That didn't hold for me but

these covers are obviously ok to use over the entire patch.

Thanks my friend. Not sure if you have replied to a message sent asking you how strong a dose your on of the Duragesic. But if you have not gotten or seen it, sometime would you let me know how much take and how well it works for you? I am sorry that so far behind in emails that cannot know if you have replied, just wanted to ask about it here just in case you had not seen my other message. Hope your well enough today to enjoy a great Sunday. Take good care my friend.

What happens if even that white tape doesn't stick?

I have the Lidocaine Patches, and I've tried every single type of tape.....and NOTHING!!....NO KIND of Tape will help keep them on for me...

Tonia,

Have you tried the clear adhesive bandage that the hospitals use to

cover the IV site? This is what the Duragesic people sent me to use

for helping their patch stick and it is working great for me. They

are made by & and called Transparent Dressing... The

size is 4 in. by 5 in.
