Not being totally familiar with the "patch", I can only comment regarding the UV effects. If the patch is able to transmit the light through to your skin then more than likely there will be interaction between the UV light and the time release drug. Just recall the effect sunlight has on exposed paint, plastics like the blue tarps for coverings, vinyl siding. All of these degrade principally due to chemical changes of these materials. Some of these breakdowns can be likely candidates for inducing cancer on the skin as well as permeating into your body to cause other harmful effects. Better safe than sorry. Your skin changes color because it's trying to protect itself from the harmful effects of UV. Realize that most drugs are sensitive to light or temperature and that's why they are packed in shaded containers,or other protection to keep them from breaking down due to environmental exposure.
