Title: Horizontal or Vertical when Cutting patches?
Post by: Shazzie on June 05, 2014, 12:23:12 PM

Hiya

I have been cutting my Evorel Conti 50 patches in half for the past month and I feel so much better.  The palpitations have completely stopped and I am sleeping so much better.

I cut my patches vertically but just wanted to check that this is the way they should be cut.  My GP said it was safe to cut them but U forgot to ask whether to cut up and down or across.  Guess I must be cutting correctly as I feel so much better.

Hope you are all doing ok.

Thanks for your help.

I am sure it does not matter which way you cut them Shazzie, so glad you are sleeping well, that's half the battle :)

I just realised I didn't explain myself very well.

I cut mine straight up through the bit that you peel back.  I just leave one side of the patch unpeeled.

That's what I do and put the other unpeeled half back in the sachet  :)

Sorry - my sense of humour led me to wonder if you were laying down or standing up when cutting your patches  ;) ……  ::)

Welcome to our World ……….

Has anybody tried cutting them diagonally?

I haven't, just wondered........

Or into a pretty shape. Star perhaps  ;D

I cut mine horizontally but really don't think it matters.

The question was ..........  ;)

it's when they float by whilst swimming that it gets funny .........

Pretty shapes sounds good.  I could leave the outline of the patch on my bottom if it was a pretty shape.  Save on baby oil too. 

CLKD.  Perhaps yours could be fish shaped then when they float by noone will notice.  Lol.
