Is there any specific location that the patch will have a quicker and better effect?

Thank You for helping me out with this, I have just been put on this medicine and I am not feeling that it's is helping the pain.

I have only been on this medicine for a day, but I thought I should be feeling some kind of relief by now.

Thanks for your help.

fentanyl patch quick release trick



I think the best placement is where your thigh meets your pelvis. The skin is thin and it absorbs quickly. Also put a heating pad on the patch to really speed up release. Try for 10 min and if you don't feel any result after waiting (no heat) 10 min try 10 more mins. If you are highly tolerant to opiods you may need a higher dosage.
