My butrans patch gets saturated and falls off after showering..will the patch still work if I remove

Thank you! Much appreciated advise.. Could I ask if you know what the covering patches are called? or if there's a specific name or brand? :)

To be quite honest, I don't remember. I turned out to be allergic to the patches several years ago and couldn't wear them. If you tell your pharmacist that you're looking for a cover for your patch, they'll know exactly what you're looking for. The patches are actually made to get wet, as in the shower or regular bathing, just not to stand up to prolonged immersion like swimming. You'll be fine as long as you seal the edges so water doesn't get underneath. That's what ruins them. In that case, any medical tape will usually suffice. At least that's what I was told by the people who manufacture Butrans. I hope this helps!

To Lisa, if your allergic reaction was that the patches caused a rash and redness, then you could try to put Flonase on your skin first. Let it dry, then apply the patch. I went to 2 specialists who were trying to have me take it by mouth which is tricky with the dose and may have caused irritation to my mouth. Then I got a new neurologist who suggested the Flonase. It worked like a charm for me. Let me know if the redness was your problem. The butrans patches are terrific.
