Details:

Due to severe nerve and back pain, for 9 years I have been taking 4 to 5 tablets a day of Hydrocodone/APAP 7.5mg/750mg. My doctor recently prescribed fentanyl patches and we have worked up to a 75mcg patch plus a 50mcg patch where she feels I will stay.

Hi Sparky,

I'm not sure but I don't think so. I was going to suggest using a 100 and a 25 patches. But you are already using 2 patches. I guess you want to be able to use just 1 patch. If you do a google search for Fentanyl patch you will probably find something that lists all the various strengths it comes in. Or ask your pharmacist.

Just out of curiosity, what's wrong with wearing to 2 patches?

Dear sparky1075.
I don't think there is a 125 patch. I could be wrong, but don't think so. I think you have to use two patches. One 100 patch and one 25 patch. Or the 75 and 50 like you're doing. Hope this helps. Best of luck to you. Ruth
