Hi, Welcome to healthcare Magic! You can repeat the fentanyl patch every two days instead of three days. Alternatively you can start oral tramadol and paracetamol combination or you may go for Buprinorphine dermal patch as an option. I hope the advise would be informative and useful for you. Take Care!
