Re: Duragesic/ Vee-- Val is 100% right on the heat

First to all, sorry that my last message went through 3 times. Having some

computer problems.

Hi Cindy

Really, let him read all of this. He will get used to it. It really is

good, if you don't have serious skin issues. But the one thing that Val & a few

others mentioned is very true. I have had problems over the years with serious

heat. I think the general idea, is anything that will make him perspire a

lot, will do it. It does acutally cause the medication to be released &

absorbed into the system faster, which will cause 2 things.

- The medication will run out faster

-And, he will be overmedicated while it's being released so quickly. It

wasn't funny at the time, but years ago, without thinking, I went to the beach &

it was really, really hot. Several hours later, I was a zombie!

So, do be careful on that issue. Take care,
