Placing the patch under the tongue is not recommended, as it can lead to improper absorption and may result in dangerous side effects or overdose. It’s essential to use the patch as directed by a healthcare provider for safe and effective pain management.

What does LOZ mean when used after Fetanyl?
Lozenge. Fentanyl is an opiod used for pain management. Fentanyl comes in both long-acting release forms (patches) and is also used IV. Fentanyl lozenges are on a stick, much like a lollipop and should be placed between the teeth and gums to release the medication through the tissue in the mouth and into the blood stream. Fentanyl is known for how quickly it works, how effective it is, and how quickly it "leaves your system". These qualities make it a good medication for breakthough pain management if someone feels that other opiods make them feel drugged, over-medicated, and sleepy. It is also useful when a provider is trying to find the right dosage of long acting medication, thus reducing the need for break through medications.

What is it that patches placed on the skin can be used to deliver medications to the bloodstream?
Medications like Duragesic and their generic counterparts deliver the dose transdermally, meaning that the drug is delivered through the skin membrane and thus into the bloodstream. Duragesic patches work by containing the drug in a suspension gel, contained inside a small pouch on the patch. The bottom of the patch is made of a material that is both adhesive and similar to a porous membrane, which will release the drug into the skin when it's heated by normal body heat. The dosage is regulated over the life of the patch by body heat, which is why overheating the patch (fever, external heat sources,etc.) can significantly increase the delivery rate to the bloodstream. In those cases, even in patients who are opiate tolerant, delirium or respiratory depression can occur. In many cases, for most people who aren't tolerant to high doses (or those who abuse them), it can lead to death.
Can you put a nicotine patch on your leg?

From NicoDermCQ's FAQ:Does the patch need to be placed on my arm?No, NicoDerm CQ can be placed anywhere on the body that is clean and dry at the time of application. Feel free to place the patch on a non-hairy area, such as your thigh, stomach, back, wherever you prefer. The only places we would suggest that you avoid are your joints (ankles, knees, elbows, etc.) since the constant movement of these areas would make it difficult for the patch to stick.http://www.nicodermcq.com/Faqs.aspx#04
