I have a 50mcg Fentanyl patch that i applied after removing only half of the plastic backing. Well tha tdidn't work very well. My question is, can I now cut off the ruined part of the patch, remove the rest of the backing and apply as normal?
I believe I read that the dose delievered would probably still be 50mcg/hr but for a shorter period. Is this correct or will the dose/hr be less as the surface area has been halved.
Oh, BTW, this is a Matrix Patch.
Thank you for your time. Very new here.NN
