yes, tincture of benzion works great IF you can find it. If not, under that particular name, ask the pharmacist, try mmm, cannoat remember the name but it is in the tooth pain section and it is benzion and a low dose of benzocaine. Enough benzoin to make the skin sticky. Surfers use Tincture of Benzion to make themselves stickey when doing stunts on surfboards with another person. <---trivia.
Do NOT use the benzion on the area that the the drugs are to be delivered to,it does create a film on the skin, just the edges. If you want to try it, might try using that plastic tape that is clear with tinyholes in it. Offhand cannot remember the name, it works pretty good to and most people that have an allergy to tape seem to do okay with it, some not so good. Final alternative, that is not so hot, is papertape. In a pinch 100mph tape. Dont laugh, have a pt that swears by it, and won't use anything else. Personaly I Have told him for yrs he is a few fries short a happy meal, but he is a marine what can I say.
