Yes, you can apply a new patch. If the contraceptive patch is applied incorrectly, it is recommended that a new patch be applied immediately. This works on the principle of continuous protection against pregnancy.
It is also important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and carefully read the package leaflet. If you have any doubts or questions, it is advisable to consult your doctor, who can tailor the recommendations to your situation. If it is not possible to visit the site, I encourage you to take advantage of the teleconsultation via e.g. the Gdziepolek.pl portal:
