Buprenorphine patch

My husband started this patch Friday evening 10 micro grams. He was a bit zonked out yesterday and this morning has a headache and feels dizzy which the leaflet does say is a common side effect. Just wondering if anyone uses this patch and if side effects are constant or if they fade away in time thanks 

  • Hi Lizzy, 

    How's your husband feeling now that he's had his patch on for a few days. It can sometimes take a few days for things to even our and settle so I do hope that he's feeling better but if you've any concerns then do give the Dr a call. Or alternatively you can call our team of nurses on 0808 800 4040 (Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm). 

    Best wishes,
