How Long Can A Fentanyl Patch Be Kept?

Is there still medicine after 72 hours in a 100 MCG. Fentanyl Patch? I have had Doctors tell me to change them ever 48 hours instead of the normal 72 hours. I have also had a Doctor tell me to keep it on for 96 hours. Please help me understand this...Thank You

You suppose to follow the instruction given by the doctor because this is the only best therapy you have been given and this could be changed after 72 hours this would be the best way to follow, no need to go for any other medicine, hope this information helps, take care.
