The doctor gave me a few boxes/samples. He also gave me a shot of steroids and a shot for pain ,which didn't help at all. He put a patch on my back before I left his office and had to remove it about 10 min. later. It was burning my skin really bad. He didn't give me any info about the patch,and was full aware of my hep.C and refused to prescribe me anything else for pain. $328.00 for nothing as far as I'm concerned!
I have hep. C, is the flector patch safe for me to use?

on the patch burning side of the issue you may just be allergic to dermal patches as i am as well. As far as the safety of using the patch unless you are allergic to Diclofenac there shouldn't be a problem but i highly advise to call your pharmacist in order to be 100% sure.
