His or Her Entire Day

The patch is applied to the hip area once each morning. Daytrana was designed to provide daylong adhesion during normal activities. It’s recommended that the patch be worn for 9 hours; its effects continue for 3 hours more after it’s removed. Talk to your child’s doctor about adjusting the dosage or wear time to improve results or help manage potential late day side effects, like lack of appetite and difficulty sleeping.

Tell your doctor about any heart conditions, including structural abnormalities, your child or a family member may have. Inform your doctor immediately if the child develops symptoms that suggest heart problems, such as chest pain or fainting.

Daytrana should not be used if the child has: significant anxiety, tension, or agitation; allergies to methylphenidate or other ingredients of Daytrana; glaucoma; discontinued in the last 14 days or is taking a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI); tics, or family history or diagnosis of Tourette’s syndrome.
