Patch adhesion has less to do with patch brands than skin preparation and skin real estate - location, location, location.
I've added a link at the bottom to my long answer about how to keep your patches applied (How do you keep Fentanyl Patches applied?), and even reapplication if they come off or you have to remove them temporarily. Like many, when I first used them, I had trouble keeping them on. But over the course of 10 years, it got to be pretty simple. There are several tricks to keeping them on, but once you get the hang of it you won't have problems.
Check the answer out - if you still have problems, you can email me directly from my Supervisor Bio page. You wouldn't be the first I've helped with this particular problem.
You don't. You get Watson brand and eat them.
Fentanyl patches are used to treat the pain from cancer. It is a narcotic drug that is prescribed by medical professionals. Pharmacists at WalMart will know if they have the Watson brand.
The oral drug Fentanyl is made by many different companies, but Duragesic (brand name for Fentanyl Transdermal patches) is made and distributed by Ortho-McNeil/Janssen Pharmaceuticals.
If you figure it out let me know. cant find them anymore
Duragesic transdermal system. Manufactured by Janssen-Cilag and available in 12, 25, 50, 75 and 100 micrograms/hour strength.
Where my I find name brand patches
Fentanyl is the generic name of the drug. One brand name for fentanyl is Duragesic.
Morphine doesn't come in patch form, so I think you mean fentanyl patches. It's sold under the brand name Duragesic. The patches a good way to get a steady stream of medicine in the system, so that you don't have periods of pain whilst waiting for a short-acting pill to kick in. It is used for chronic pain, and is often given to people who can't take a medicine by mouth. The patches are generally changed every 72 hours. Incorrect above.They had morphine patches years ago way before fentanyl.
I have been using Duragesic (fentanyl patches) for severe chronic pain caused by RSD since September 14, 2002. When my primary care doctor used a urine drug test to find out if I was really using my Duragesic patches, the test came back negative, even thoigh I really WAS using my patches. However, a blood test did show the level of fentanyl present in my blood. The funny thing is that the level of fentanyl in my blood is higher when I use my 125 mcg brand name patches from Janssen than when I use my 125 mcg generic patches from Sandoz, Mylan, and other generic manufacturers, whose names I do not remember.
A standard box of 5 patches (100 micrograms NOT milligrams) costs on average around $300 US if you don't have any insurance to pay for it. That's for Duragesic - generic Fentanyl patches may be lower.

The best is still the original - Duragesic (brand name) made by Janssen Pharmaceuticals.
