Is It Safe To Use The Fentynal Patch If The Expiry Date Is Not Known ?
HI, I am a EMT, and my grandmother is perscribed 25mcg fentynal patches. i cant get to the docters to pick up her paper script for them until tmr, and shes out and in sever pain. she doesnt use them a whole lot so im not sure if i have to bring her along. while getting some motrin out of her med basket i noticed a patch underneath some of the bottles, now it WAS taken out of the paper, but it wasn t peeled open. tho it seems to be that it is mostley dried even tho not Peeled open.... if i apply it while it still work? and is it safe? it isn t Exp

Hi,
if the patch was not expired and not peeled open, then, can apply to your grandmother. It will work until tomorrow. At least, your grandmother will be psychologically calmed down that she had her path as regularly.
Take care!
