Hi all
I note in the patient info leaflets for Conti and Estradot that I should "...not apply a new patch to that same area for at least one week."
The only site of my body where the damned things stick, is the very top of my thigh at the front. So, as my change days are Monday pm and Friday am, I have been alternating between legs on these days. However, I am now concerned that the indication "....for at least one week" might mean one week from its removal? So, if I take my Monday patch off my left leg on Friday, I should not apply one to the same area until at least the next Friday?
I am afraid that the instructions are also not that clear as to what exactly constitutes an 'area'. Does this mean the same spot exactly, an area of 6 inches, the whole of the front of the thigh, the whole of the leg, what exactly?
As I wear tight sports clothing nearly every day (padded lycra cylcle shorts, that I sweat a lot in), I cannot find anywhere else where the will stay stuck to.
