Exelon patch and sweaty exercise - will it still work?

Hi Folks! Rons new Neuro doc really wants him on the patch, but he's in Rock Steady Boxing class 3 days a week, sweats like crazy. And he tries to walk on the off days. Can he still use it? I've been putting this off long enough, have had it for 2 months, but I'm worried 😱

I do Rock steady boxing, and also sweat a lot with it. I have had no problems at all with my Neupro patch, and hope he would find the Exelon stays on as well.

Thank you Skymom2008 ! Do you use the Exelon patch? If so, are there any side effects? Ron is starting on the low dose, but he still has a disabled adult son at home, I worry about some of the symptoms in the pamphlet 😳

I use the Neupro patch and have for several years. No, I do not have side affects
