Can Higher Dose Of The Butrans Patch 10cmg Cause Dizziness?

My mother just started on Thursday a higher dose of the Butrans patch 10cmg. Up from 5 mcg. The question is related to the dizziness. However she has experienced the room flip flop she says and then last night she fell down from the same thing. What do you think?

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Butrans 10 mcg patch does not cause this severity of dizziness. I would suggest you to get her blood pressure checked. Also get her brain MRI done.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shubham Mehta
