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.

Will using one fentinal patch make you addicted?

Yes. Fentinal like morphine are both highly addictive drugs. Also because the patch is worn for three days verses one dose the chance of addiction grows substantially.

Also my sister is a Nurse Practitioner and has confirmed what I am stating.
