Fentanyl Patch Broke On My Arm.

Iv been on the Fentanyl patch 50 mg for about two yrs, use to be be on 150 mg, but didn't want to be on such a high dose , also on percoset10-325. My question is , I wear the patch on my upper arm, sometimes the sight itches, well about 20 mins ago ,the site itched and I guessed I itched it to hard, before I knew it the liquid was all over my arm and hands. I know how serious this medication can be , I'm worried about and over dose. It can sink in the skin and is a strong medication. I did wash my arm and hands with soap and water right after, just scared about an over dose. Anyone have this happen to them ???

Hello, Cookie! How are you doing?

Please be careful scratching in the future, to prevent it happening, again.

However, it isn't like that you absorbed much to put yourself in danger, if you washed it off immediately.

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Did you get sick or dizzy? Have any trouble breathing?
