I was wondering if anyone knew that the
patch is just supposed to be placed on
arms, adbomen, and buttocks? I have been
putting mine on my thigh the last two
weeks and I needed to know if that reduces
the level of effectiveness.
I would be very grateful if someone would
answer this with some information. Thank
you.

Don't Put It There! Posted: 11-14-05 15:48pm
Hi, I just got a sample of the patch from
my doctor and a whole booklet along with
it... But it says that it can be worn on
your buttock, lower abdomen, upper torso(
on your back though, not on your chest),
or the outside of your upper arm... It
also says you can put it in a different
spot each week so that your skin wont get
irritated, but idk if it reduces
effectiveness if you have been putting it
on your thigh.. But I wouldnt take my
chances if I were you!
.. And if you have any info on the new
warnings about the patch reply back.. I
am scared to start using it now that all
these things on the news about blood clots
and the patch came out...
