“Birth control patch?”
Is it safe to put tegaderm over my birth control patch to keep it in place so it does not fall off?

Yes, you may also want to make sure you don’t apply lotions/creams underneath the patch, that will usually help it stick.
I would think ok if the patch is directly applied to the skin.
