To prevent the patch becoming loose or falling off • Do not put the patch in an area where it can be rubbed by tight clothing. • Do not use creams, oils, lotions, powders or other skin products on the area of skin you will be sticking the patch on or near a patch you are already wearing. • If you need to stick the patch to a hairy area of skin, you must shave the area at least 3 days before sticking the patch there.
