Remove the plastic liner that protects the sticky side of the patch before applying to the skin.

Before applying the patch, clean the skin with water. Gently pat dry. Do not rub the skin. Do not use soap, oils, or alcohol. Do not shave the hair. It irritates the skin. If needed, cut the hair close to the skin with scissors.

Press patch firmly for a few seconds to make sure it sticks. If it does not, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. Do not cover with a bandage or tape unless your doctor or pharmacist says to.

After applying the patch, do not touch or apply pressure to the patch since this may cause the medicine to leak out of the patch.

If the patch falls off or you forgot to use the patch on time, apply a new patch immediately to a different location. Replace this new patch at your next usual dosing time.
