Hi Wendy,
No the patches are Buprenorphine the Docs hoping it will take the edge of the pain one patch lasts 7days,
I don't know much about it because the Chemist forgot to put the leaflet in with the patches (naughty) I'm going to ask her for it in the morning so I can see what's in it.I have had opioid s plenty of times so know they work normally. I only put the first one on today so far no affect.The Doctor said we are fighting an uphill battle now as far as my pain goes all he can do is make life as comfortable as possible but I would never find a great relief any more.
