CombiPatch Dosage

General Information on Dosing With CombiPatch

Some considerations for people using CombiPatch include the following:
 
  • CombiPatch comes as a skin patch. It is changed twice a week.
     
  • Apply the CombiPatch patch to an area of clean, dry skin on your lower abdomen.
     
  • Rotate the application sites, so that you do not apply a patch to the same place twice in a row.
     
  • Try to avoid placing the patch right at your waistline, since your clothes may rub against the patch and loosen it.
     
  • If a little adhesive remains on your skin after removing a patch, a little lotion or body oil can help to remove it.
     
  • Dispose of an old patch by folding it in half and throwing it away, out of reach of children or pets. Do not flush it down the toilet.
     
  • For the medication to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed.
     
  • If you are unsure about anything related to your CombiPatch dosage, please talk to your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.
