Has anyone used these? There is a advertisement Currently on fb but supplier is in US. I have been diagnosed with High blood pressure but have problems taking oral medication as I get bad skin reaction, like Lichen Planus, and feel it might be a better to use a patch instead.

Personally I would not take anything not prescribed by my doctor and definitley not something I saw advertised on facebook as many are scams I fear.

Hi lasbrisas,

I would definately NOT buy any medical product from fb or any other online social media outlet.

Go see your family doctor who would surely have access to your medical records and be able to work through an alternative for you. You might even suggest to him that it might be worthwhile trying alternative medicines so long as the supply source is appropriately approved.
