Itching and fentanyl patches

Yes in answer to your itching and soreness.

David after abiut 8 years developed a sensitivity to the sticky.

Hydocautizone crean helped rubbed into the area before applying the patch. this helped plus GP changed to another brand. I can't remember the name. After about 2 months he went back to Fentanyl although still gets a bit itchy from yime to time. Delicate skin!

Try the cream and if it doesn't help see your GP about changing band.

Hope this helps

I was on Butrans patches and also was sore, itchy and blistering. My gp stopped them and prescribed slow release morphine tablets instead.

I have the 7 day morphine patches and also have the irritated skin side effect. I switched to the tablets but the side effects were horrible and they did not work as well. I decided to stay with the patches as they do work and the side effects are a fair trade off. My GP prescribed a steroid cream and it works but I use it sparingly as my GP told me that it makes the skin thinner. I also use Sudocrem which is quite good. I rotate the patches around my arms and legs. Being a bit of a big old lump, there is a bit of flesh to share. Good luck with finding something that works for you. Warm regards, Dave.

I had itching and red burning skin too on the fentanyl patches, I was told to come off them by my GP. Talk to them though, see what they suggest.
