Are you referring to the problem that we have with the adhesive used on band-aids? Perhaps they'll suggest that we put the patch in a different spot on the body every time we start a new one. I've never used a medicine in patch form before, so I really don't know how this problem is managed. I guess we could ask people who've used estrogen patches or Nicotine patches. When I've absolutely had to have a wound covered, I have found Telfa (or is it Tefla) tape to be the least of the evils; however, if I use it long enough, my skin will get irritated from that, too, but at least I can go for a few days with that brand. Perhaps if the Selegiline patch is successful, eventually the manufacturer will make a patch with adhesive for sensitive skin. I wish I could get more information on why the patch has been delayed again. Even my pdoc isn't sure what's going on.
