Evorel 50 patch fell off - Last one in the box

Hi, don't know how this is possible given how much it usually sticks. The instructions say put another one on, which I don't have. However, I have the prescription, which I was going to get on Monday but none of the late night pharmacies stock this.
Any advice on what I should do? I can try again in the morning but what will happen if I wait until Monday, when I was due to use an Evorel Conti patch.

Stick it back on and cover with some micropore tape or similar.

This happened to me and I stuck it on with sellotape Blush

Stick it back on with a plaster - the adhesive on loads of batches of Evorel patches is crap. I remember buying a job lot of graze plasters last year.

Otherwise put a Conti on a day early, tomorrow.

Are you normally short of patches btw?

Microwave - then call your gp and ask for gel.

🤣. Sorry, clearly do not put the patch in the microwave. Bloody auto correct. MICROTAPE!!!

I have tried to stick it back on with all manner of adhesives. I didn't expect it to come off as they are so bloody hard to get off. It had rolled itself up into a tiny flipping roll so there might not be any drugs left in it.

I have a prescription that I was going to take in on Monday as the Sequi been xes have 4 Evorel 50's and 4 Evorel Conti, so in theory I have 2 weeks until I need a new box. This is from my first box tgat the GP prescribed so I only had a new prescription after being weighed and having my BP done last week.

I found it hard to keep the on until I started putting them on my by cheeks (tried legs before). Never had one fall off again.

I get another prescription filled a week before I actually need them, just to allow for any delay.

In that case personally I'd stick the next one on a day early tomorrow. If it were me.

I've had to juggle patches for years.

I'm thinking about insisting on gel. It's got to be easier?
