Can I Take My Other Injectable Medications On The Same Side Of My Stomach That The Combipatch Is On?

I have just started this hormone replacement patch called combipatch and my Dr. didn t tell me much about it.... I was wondering if I can take my other Injectable Medications on the same side of my stomach that the patch is on, considering I take two injections every night.

Hello,

Combipatch (skin patch) is a combination medicine used to treat menopause symptoms

Sometimes it is not safe to use certain medications at the same time. Some drugs can affect the blood levels of other drugs you take, which may increase side effects or make the medications less effective.

To answer your question: It is better if you do not take your injectable medication on the same side of your stomach that the patch is on,to avoid possible drug interactions.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Elona Xhardo, Endocrinologist
