My Daytrana patch comes off when I'm exercising. I sweat A LOT. Any tips on how to make it stay on?
《Plasticity》;12974898 said:Not exactly the most creative method but when I used to use those poorly glued fentanyl matrix patches I would pretty just tape it to my arm with the clear medical tape my friends mom brought home from the hospital, I'd imagine most tapes would hold. Not sure what else one can do besides maybe putting a light amount of talcum powder or antiperspirant around the area of the patch to prevent sweating in that area but not so much that it won't stick in the first place, though I have doubts about this method lol. You can probably try using an armband as well.

•Apply the patch after showering and avoid lotions, creams and skin oils
•Using alcohol wipes before application, especially for oily skin
•Cover with Fixomull Stretch adhesive fabric bandage (10cm) which can be cut to size. It sticks strongly in humid conditions and while swimming
•Mefix is a soft, stretchable adhesive fabric tape which can be applied over the patch to hold it in place
•Coban bandage, a light non-adhesive bandage which sticks to itself
•Opsite transparent, waterproof film
•Micropore tape
•Pantyhose or sock under the sleeve
•Avoid areas prone to rubbing and friction
•Wear the patch on top of the foot under a sock and shoe
