Medication patch should be placed on body parts with thin skin like anterior chest wall for the best absorption, a place where the patch is not easy to slough off when changing cloths and a site you can easily check the patch.

CombiPatch should be placed on the lower abdomen (below the belt line). A person should choose a smooth, freshly cleaned, dry, area of skin that is free of any powder, oil, or moisturizer and has no cuts or irritation. Every time a new CombiPatch is used, a different area on the lower abdomen -- the same area should not be used again for at least 1 week.
