Are butrans effective for chronic nerve pain ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Butrans: Butrans is a 7 day patch for moderate-severe pain for continuous blood level however one should expect pain control by 1/3 or 30% and not 100% it is also not a replacement for people taking high doses of controlled pain meds
