Question:
How do you shower with a medication patch.....?
I have used medication patches before - but they always came off when I showered. Now the Doctor gave me another....
I really need this one - as I CANNOT take the medication orally. How do you keep it dry + keep it from falling off?
Answers:
Where is this patch located? If its in a spot that you can just avoid getting wet that would be the easiest. I had a kidney biopsy once and I had to wear a bandage/patch over the spot on my back where the needle went in when I had a shower.. it was tricky but I managed to avoid getting it wet.
Is it a patch like something the size of a nicotine patch or something? In that case saran wrap would work it would just depend on the area where it is... like your leg is easier to wrap up then your shoulder.
You can also go to the drugstore and get large square bandages that are actually meant to stick to you like a bandaid would. You could always just cover it with that.
