Sorry it took me so long to respond back.  I'm sick right now so spending a lot of time in bed and bathroom.  My hubby uses Tegaderm to help them stick...he said that out of all the brands this foil one stuck really good.  Because I'm clean now I don't deal with his meds any more.  We always had a rule of not messing about with each others meds...but since I'm trying to stay clean I think it best not to put temptation in front of my face.

He did say it stuck really good though......as soon as he is done with cardiac/pulmonary rehab he's going to get off of the fentanyl.  He, unfortunately, will probably have to do it in the hospital.  He's got a lot of issues so there is no way he will be able to deal with withdrawals.  Doctor already told him cold turkey could kill him...so he's started tapering down.

Sorry...I'm rambling aren't I?  Back to bed with me...after taking some tylenol.

Hi Kris.  My husband has those and the last ones he got were like tin foil on the back also.  He says they work just fine.  It is another effort on the part of pharm companies to prevent people from abusing Duragic patches.  Hope that alleviates your concerns.
