A member asked:
Can the butrans patch be worn in the groin area and be as effective as in the recommended area of the upper body? trying to hide patch wo shirt on.

Perhaps, but: The location over the upper arm, upper chest, or upper back is based on vascularity, and resultant absorption, where the medicine is better absorbed higher up. Theoretically, it still will cross transdermally, but effect may be blunted if placed in groin area.
