exelon patch

My husband has been prescibed the the 9.5 exelon patch but we still have a supply of the 4.6 patches.  With them being so expensive can I use two of the 4.6 patches at the same time until we run out?

Talk to the pharmacist. See if it is safe to put two patches on, and make sure, as well, that they are not left on by accident as it may be harder to manage two separate patches. So as long as the caregiver is aware of the location and good about changing both on time...
