Divide the number of patches by the maximum patches applied per day. A box of 30 at three patches a day is a 10 day supply. ### Does the 12 hour off period count as extra days? No. The patch is still applied once during that calendar day, so the day count is based on patches used per day. ## Related Transdermal Patch guides [Nitroglycerin Patch day supply](/tools/days-supply-calculator/nitroglycerin-patch)[Fentanyl Patch day supply](/tools/days-supply-calculator/fentanyl-patch) ## Run the numbers with a free calculator Same math, done for you.
