Hi Bob,

Welcome. You've gotten the correct info. I'm just wondering how you are doing. Is the Patch effective?

I'll look forward to hearing more from you.

Take Care,

Yes there is writing on the patch. You can cover them with Nexcare tegaderm patches but be aware they are expensive. You must not cover the fentanyl patch with anything else like tape or bandaids as it doesnt allow the patch or skin to breathe and too much medicine can be released. The tegaderm allows oxygen through. Tegaderm is the only thing you can use to cove fentanyl patches. You can write mylan about the problem and see if they will you provide you with the tegaderm for free.

Also, put it on skin with no hair. I find my sides work well. Just rotate where you put them to avoid skin irritation.
