After using a fentanyl patch 50 mcg/h for 3 days how much medication is left in the patch? My Dr reduced my patch from 75 mcg/h to 50 and I sometimes leave my used patch on for up to 2 weeks for extra relief. Am I really getting extra medication or is it my imagination?

Hello, Sherri! How are you?

Yes, while most of the medication is absorbed and used, there are always traces of it still in the patch and, since this is a very potent narcotic, it could be enough to harm animals and small children, as reported by the manufacturer.

The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
