We have tried cleaning the patch area with alcohol prior to applying, using skin clensers, and now we are using those bandages that they put over IVs to try to hold it in place. Nothing is working. In fact, you can see a good portion of the medication still in the patch when it's time to change it.

We have tried changing the location of the patch and that isn't working either.

I could use some ideas if anyone has any.
