REPLIED to Info Request

May I ask what strength of patches?

How often are the patches being changed?

Does a doctor prescribe the patches? How often do they get a review?

Does the patient have any other pain relief at all? What do they take for breakthrough pain?

Thanks. I can help more when I have extra information.
