How do i get fentanyl patches to stick?

Use a prep: Try getting a "prep kit" from the drug store that cleans the area and will also provide a sticky film on top of the skin. If you can't find it perhaps the office that prescribed the patch can help you find it.

Change brand: Generics are notorious for poorly sticking patches. Try these generic brands: mylan, johnson and johnson or the brand name duragesic (fentanyl).

Brand name: Try different manufactures. Some stick better then others. J&j makes reliable patches. Also wipe your skin with alcohol, let it dry, then apply.
