If you're referring to stored patches, they can, but if stored in a cool dry place in the original packages, they can last for a very long time. They're damaged by heat, as it's body heat that regulates the flow of the drug.

I keep mine in a plastic container in a nice dark, cool room.

What is Fentanyl 25mcg per hour?

This refers to a Fentanyl Transdermal patch, which is commonly used for chronic pain patients like myself that need continuous long-term opiate therapy. It is regulated by body heat, and is extremely effective. There are several doses - 12.5, 25, 50, 75 and 100mcg patches, all of which can be used with one another to make specific dosages. For example, though my normal dose is 100mcg, I typically have to use 200mcg, so I'll use 2 100mcg patches.
