Overview

About CombiPatch

How should you take CombiPatch?

Apply the patch to a smooth, clean, dry area of the skin on your lower abdomen. Do not apply it on or near your breasts, at your waistline, or to oily, damaged, or irritated areas. Rotate sites; the same area should not be used again for at least one week. Wear only one patch at a time.

Do not expose the patch to the sun for prolonged periods of time. If it falls off during bathing or other activities, reapply it to a different part of the lower abdomen. If necessary, use a new patch.

Remove the patch carefully to avoid skin irritation. If any adhesive remains, wait 15 minutes then gently rub the area with a cream or lotion to remove the residue.

If you miss a dose...
If you forget to apply a new patch when you are supposed to, do it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time to change patches anyway, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Do not apply more than one patch at a time unless directed by your doctor.

Storage instructions...
Store the sealed foil patches at room temperature, away from extreme heat and cold, for up to 3 months.
