can i put my butran patch over my tattoo without messing it up ## I'm unable to find any sort of advice on this topic over the internet...But in reality if you are worried about anything happening to your tattoos, then I would look into other alternative or natural pain medications beside patches. Are there any other parts of your body where you can effectively apply the patch that aren't tattooed (i.e. back, shoulders, neck, calves, thighs, chest)? ## Can I put an buprenorphine patch 20mg on tattoo 25years old

My moms box of 25 mcg/hr fentanyl patches accidentally fell off shelf and my 10 pound dog got it and chewed it up into pieces. There were 4 three day patches in the box not sure how much she ingested. But she is asleep and breathing very shallow can't get her to stay awake . can this kill her. ## Yes it can kill her. Take her to the vet immediately !!!!! This is so serious if she even were to just lick one patch it could kill her. 10lbs is little. Please take her to the dr ASAP!!!!

i cant afford my patches is there a way to get help LIKE A DISCOUNT OR ANYTHING ## On the lower right side of each page of this website is a printable discount card that you can try using. There is no registration or qualifying required, you just print it and it provides discounts or rebates at many pharmacies. So that's something you may want to look into. Learn more Butrans details here. Additionally, there is a savings card that your doctor can print for you to use from their website, butrans.com. But as I said, a physician has to sign up for it and print it for their patients. Does anyone else have any ideas? ## I was told by my pain doc's nurse practicioner(spelled wrong) that if you get your doc to call your insurance co. it might help with the cost some if he tells them h...

Do flector patches go bad after several years, can they still be used ..besides loosing their strength, can they hurt you? ## Hello, Havy! How are you? All medications lose efficacy with time, so they will likely not work as well as they did when new, if they are expired. However, they do not become dangerous. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including dizziness, headache, skin redness, and skin irritation. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am currently using Norspan patches for the treatment of chronic pain, I am moving to Beijing China and dont know if I can have this medication prescribed in China. Is Norspan available in Beijing China? ## Norspan contains the active ingredient Buprenorphine, a very potent narcotic used to treat severe, chronic pain. And, as to what's available in China, I am sorry, but I can't find any information on it. Most other countries are not regulated as strictly as the U.S. and Canada, so it can be very difficult to find such information. Have you tried asking your doctor or pharmacist if they have any information? ## Jane says that she has since heard from the pharmaceutical company and they have advised that Norspan is not available in China. Thanks for your replies.

does the phentol patch contain methadone? ## I'm sorry, did you mean Phentol, which refers to Phentolamine and is used to treat hypertensive emergencies or did you mean Fentanyl, which is a narcotic to treat pain? Neither one contains Methadone. Fentanyl contains exactly that, it is the active ingredient. It is a narcotic used to treat chronic pain. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth. ## Hi, very informative , I appreciate the comments. I recently was told by a pharmacist that I might check into phentol patches for cancer pain, so it will not cause constipation. ## Do not do patches if u have done methadone or any other medications or opioids u will O.D trust me I speak from experience.

Are the used patches good for anything. Is there anything left in them. Any way to extract that ## Trying to extract medications like this is very dangerous and, once the patch has been used, there isn't enough left to do anything. Most of what you'd end up with would be just the carrier media, which are inactive ingredients. Learn more Fentanyl details here. The best thing to do would be to follow the instructions provided for proper disposal. Are there any other questions or comments?

side effects and how effect for chronic pain ## would morphine patches by-pass the liver or kidneys and be better than oxycontin ## No, it will still be processed in the body the same way as a pill, shot or IV.

A time releasing patch for pain/.525mg .wprm fpr 72 hours. Does this have coedine in it? ## No, no codeine, though it is a narcotic from a related opiate family. Duragesic is actually the name of the drug. This is actually 80 times stronger than morphine, and these patches cannot be used more frequently than every 48 hours at the prescribed dosage. They are generic for Fentanyl patches. Fentanyl Info Click Here ## These patches were prescribed by my doctor for all over body arthritis pain and fibromyalgia, since there are no arthritis drugs on market I can take. I was on vioxx and Bextra for years, but no longer. I also take Mobic, 2 Darvocets per day, but the patches cause severe itching, which is why I am asking about the codiene content. I had to remove the patch. Are you sure they a...

I have very severe and advance DDD and have been taking MS-Contin which has been helpful. However I always have severe pain every time I walk around 15 steps or so due to severe muscle spasms. For 12 years the only relief I would get would be to stop walking and try to stretch the muscle in my back and the spasms. After a few more yards I would have to stop walking again. I have been on every muscle relaxant that has ever been made with no help. I am at a point that I will soon need a wheelchair when I leave my home. This past weekend I had a chance to try Lidocaine patches and I could not believe when I started to walk my pain was gone. While my doctor has no problem writing a prescription for them my Medicare part D provider (Cigna) will not pay for them because the FDA has only appro...

I have pigments (dark patches) on my cheeks and forehead. I've been suggested to take livogen with B Complex. Please advise if it's ok ## Those are only nutritional supplements and not likely to do anything to help with melasma. Melasma is usually caused by some type of underlying medical condition, such as a hormonal imbalance or immune disorder. Have you consulted your doctor? In order to solve the problem, you'll need to find out what's causing it to happen to begin with.

Please let me know the gel brands for fent 25 patches. I always used PAR and now I guess they are obsolete. I'm in northern virginia and I hate the foil backed ones as they are like gum when they get wet and then a ball of gook. I could handle the little tiny ones that are non gel but I they too aren't very sticky once they get wet. The gel ones, I can take off when I shower and stick them back on their plastic and re-stick. I wear them on my hip wear my underwear elastic is and worse case scenerio, I put a bandaid over it if the sticky isn't very sticky. Thank you for any names of gel 25's that I can ask my pharmacy to order without sounding like I'm desperate lol ## Two pharmacies near Woodbridge VA, attempted to order the PAR brand and came back to say they couldn...

finding pharmacy that dispenses teva brand in louisville kentucky 40208 ## I'm sorry, but there is really now way for us to know what pharmacy has which manufacturer's product in stock, at any given time. It is something that can always change, because most pharmacies will order their generic medications from whichever company has the cheapest, when they have to restock their pharmacy shelves. Some pharmacies will order the product in, from your preferred manufacturer, if you have found that it works best for you. Have you tried talking to them about doing so? If it is more expensive, you may have to pay the relevant price difference, though.

Hi I'm on 100 I do know when they run but they don't desalt seem to do much what is better then this for osteo pain? Thanks ## Fentanyl is the strongest narcotic opiate available on the market, it is over 80 times stronger than Morphine. Learn more Fentanyl details here. How often do you change the patches? What other medications have you tried? ## I hope by now you've found a medication or mixture of meds that are helpful. As there are too many people handing out bad information & using these sorts of places to find drugs, it's not proper to ask for names of "better" medications. There are medications stronger than fentanyl & for osteo pain; a mix of NSAIDs & narcotics, as well as physical therapy & exercise, have been proven to be most beneficia...

I have been on norspan patches 20mg for 18 months. I have ended up with tinnitus. could you please tell me how to get off norspan ## After 17 months of Norspan use I too concur regard tinnitus and its getting louder. BUT I have had "industrial deafness" for close enough to 30 years anyway and this constant screaming has been so much a part of my life I had all but accepted it. I am finding that the patches are only lasting me 5 days and not 7 as designed. I cannot take pills due to the other meds I must take for the heart valve and diabetes. Its some balancing act trust me. I am tired of it and would dearly like to find a different way to control my arthritic pain.
