How to Apply and Remove DAYTRANA

When applied correctly, the DAYTRANA patch should stay in place for the full duration of treatment. Exposure to water during bathing, swimming, or showering may affect how well the patch sticks, so be sure to follow the 6 steps below to ensure you apply the patch properly.

Carefully cut open the pouch containing the patch, and make sure it is not damaged. The patch should separate easily from the protective liner. Do not use patches that have been cut or damaged in any way. Throw away the patch if the protective liner is hard to remove.

Hold the patch with the protective liner facing you—the word "DAYTRANA" will appear backwards because you are looking at the bottom of the patch.

Gently bend the patch along the faint line, and slowly peel half the liner to expose the sticky surface underneath. Try to avoid touching the sticky part with your fingers. If you do touch it, wash your hands immediately after application.

Place the sticky side of the patch firmly on the hip and smooth it down. Make sure the skin is clean, dry, and cool without any powder, lotion, or oil. Alternate the hip on which the patch is worn each day to reduce potential irritation.

Gently fold back the other half and slowly peel off the remaining protective liner.

Press the entire patch firmly into place and hold for about 30 seconds. This ensures adhesion of the patch to the skin. Go over the edges with your fingers to make sure that it's secure.

NOTE: Wash your hands immediately after applying the patch. Patches should not be reapplied with bandages, tape, or other household adhesives. Also, do not use hair dryers, heating pads, electric blankets, or other heat sources directly on the patch. If you have to replace a patch that has fallen off, the total wear time for the first and second patch should not be more than a total of 9 hours in 1 day. Do not reapply the same patch that fell off.

The DAYTRANA patch can be easily removed in 3 steps.

Peel the patch off slowly, then fold the used patch in half so that it sticks to itself.

Flush the used patch down the toilet or, if you have a septic tank, dispose of it in a lidded trash receptacle right away.

Remove any adhesive residue from the skin by gently rubbing the area with oil or lotion.

NOTE: Any unneeded or expired DAYTRANA patches should be disposed of properly. Remove patches from their protective pouches, peel off the liners, and fold the sticky sides together. Then flush the patches down the toilet or throw away in a lidded trash receptacle right away. Wash your hands after you handle the patch. Proper disposal is important since unneeded or expired patches still contain medication that could be harmful to small children or pets if touched or consumed.

What is DAYTRANA?

DAYTRANA contains a prescription central nervous system (brain) stimulant medicine used to treat ADHD in children and adolescents 6 to 17 years old. Use of DAYTRANA may help increase attention and decrease impulsive and hyperactive behavior. DAYTRANA is a patch that you apply to your skin on your hip. DAYTRANA should be used as a part of a total treatment program for ADHD that may include counseling or other therapies. It is not known if DAYTRANA is safe and effective in children less than 6 years.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT:

DAYTRANA is a federally controlled substance (CII) because it can be abused or lead to dependence. Keep DAYTRANA in a safe place to protect it from theft. Selling or giving away DAYTRANA may harm others and is against the law. Tell the prescribing doctor if your child has ever abused or been dependent on alcohol, prescription medicines or street drugs.

DAYTRANA should not be used if your child:

has been diagnosed as very anxious, tense, or agitated
has an eye problem called glaucoma
has tics (repeated movements or sounds that cannot be controlled)
has a diagnosis or family history of Tourette's syndrome
is taking a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) medicine or has discontinued an MAOI medicine in the last 2 weeks
or is allergic to methylphenidate, acrylic adhesive, or silicone adhesive.

Serious side effects have been reported with DAYTRANA or other stimulant medicines including:

Heart problems including:

sudden death in people with heart problems or heart defects
stroke and heart attack in adults
increased blood pressure and heart rate

Remove DAYTRANA and call the doctor right away if your child has any signs of heart problems such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or fainting. Tell the doctor if your child or a family member has any heart problems, heart defects, or increased blood pressure and heart rate.

Mental (psychiatric) problems including:

new or worse aggressive behavior, hostility, anger or irritability
new or worse bipolar illness or mania (an extreme increase in activity or talking)
new or worse psychosis (hearing or seeing things that are not real, being suspicious, or distrustful, believing things that are not true)
other unusual or extreme changes in behavior or mood

Tell your doctor right away if your child has any new or worsening mental symptoms or problems while using DAYTRANA. Tell the doctor about any mental problems your child or family members have experienced including suicide or depression, bipolar illness, mania, or psychosis.

Circulation problems in fingers and toes: fingers or toes may feel numb, cool, painful and/or may change color from pale to blue, to red.

Tell your doctor if you have or your child has numbness, pain, skin color change, or sensitivity to temperature in your fingers or toes
Call your doctor right away if you have or your child has any signs of unexplained wounds appearing on fingers or toes while using DAYTRANA

Tell your doctor if you, your child, or a family member has a history of vitiligo.

Be sure to tell the doctor if your child is pregnant or breast feeding.

Possible serious side effects of DAYTRANA include:

Seizures (this usually happens in children with a history of seizures)
Painful and prolonged erections (priapism). Because of the potential for lasting damage, seek medical help right away.
Slowing of growth (weight and height). You should have your child’s height and weight checked while using DAYTRANA.
Loss of skin color (chemical leukoderma). Call your doctor immediately if you have changes in your skin color.
Allergic skin rash. Stop using DAYTRANA and see your doctor right away if you have swelling or blisters at or around the application site.
Eyesight changes or blurred vision.

If the patch is worn longer than 9 hours in a day, or if more than 1 patch is worn at a time, too much medicine has been applied. Avoid exposing DAYTRANA to direct external heat sources such as hair dryers, heating pads, electric blankets, heated water beds, or other heat sources while wearing the patch. Heating the patch could cause too much medicine to pass into your child's body and cause serious side effects.

The most common side effects seen while using DAYTRANA include: skin problems (redness, small bumps, itching) where the patch is applied, poor appetite, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, weight loss, tics, trouble sleeping, mood swings, and dizziness.
