Approx 6 hours after applying a new fentanyl patch i become itchy all over. it has been like this for years. why do i become itchy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not uncommon: The itching is caused by a restriction of the small blood vessels near the surface of the skin. It is short-term effects caused by opiate.
