Re sensativity to rotigotine patches

[Shaft1952]

Has any one hađ any problems with patches, I am having issues of sensation

Can any one advise me what they have done, I am due to see the consultant on 29th of september & will ask her advice, so upsetting, as the patch with pregablin 3 times a day had been great for 4months. Hope something can help. Look forward to hearing advice from group. Cheers shakey 52

Hello!

I have problems with severe itchiness at the site. (Thankfully no rash, just itchiness.) Rarely can I keep it on for the full 24 hours because of this. I brought up this issue in one of my posts and someone replied with the suggestion of cleaning the site with Micellar Cleansing Water prior to putting it on. You know about having to change sites everyday and the 14 day rule, right?

Take care,
