I don't think 'apply patch' is legal, strictly speaking, but rest assured that no one will be bothered: the patient just wants their medication, the doctor will not care and the PPA are not interested in anything unless it is relevant to pricing. The script will be sent off at the end of the month and you will never see it again.
