Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 I have the same probalem with generic estrogen patches. It is so hot and humid here, I sweat the little lifsavers right off. Call the manufacturer. You can't be the only one having this problem. See what happens, and it keeps you pro-active, at the very least.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Gladys, Does she have oily skin? It may help to alcohol wash the area before you put it on? Just a thought! Hugs, Donna R Caregave for Mom (after I brought her from WI to MI) for 3 years and 4th year in a nh. She was almost 89 when she died in '02. No dx other than mine.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 HI Gladys, We have the same problem with mom's HRT patch. How about the special tape that nurses use to hold down an IV - (its cloudy white in color and I can't remember the name)? It sticks to the skin but not like a band aid that is difficult to take off later? Courage Exelon question We're having trouble getting Mom's patch to stay on securely.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 <snip> Call the manufacturer. You can't be the only one having this problem. <snip> Not sure if there's a special # for the patch - but it is wise to let them know about the issues -- you may get free replacement too: Exelon Phone Number 1-877-memory4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
