In general, the patch will not lose its effectiveness. Contraceptive patches are a form of transdermal therapeutic system. It has the form of a multilayer patch, in which one of the layers (matrix or membrane) is responsible for controlling the gradual release of the drug - it allows for precise dosing of the drug substance up to several days. However, doing so will affect the adhesive layer, which is designed to hold the patch in place for a certain period of time. After re-sticking the patch, air can get under the patch, which causes the adhesive to lose its effectiveness and no longer adhere as well. If the patch peels off for various reasons, stick a new patch and then replace it with another one the next day at the usual time.
