Proper application is crucial for the effectiveness of the patch. Here are some general guidelines:
- Clean and Dry Skin: Apply the patch to clean, dry, and intact skin. - Rotate Sites: Change the application site with each new patch to avoid skin irritation. - Avoid Heat Sources: Do not place patches near heating pads or hot tubs as heat can increase drug absorption. - Follow Schedule: Adhere to the recommended schedule for changing patches to maintain effective drug levels.
