A Different Way to Treat ADHD for Your Child
Your child's doctor has recommended Daytrana™ (methylphenidate transdermal system) for good reasons. It's easy by design, flexible—wear time up to 9 hours a day—and discreet. Plus, Daytrana may be a good option to help children who may experience potential late-day side effects like lack of appetite and difficulty sleeping or for those who don't like taking pills every day.
Daytrana Facts
- In clinical testing, Daytrana provided significant improvement of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms, attention in the classroom, performance on math tests, and interactions with peers and adults.
- When worn as directed, the patch provides medicine continuously throughout your child's waking day as long as he or she has it on.
- Daytrana is designed to stay on during normal activities.
The Patch Is Flexible
- Because Daytrana is a patch, you can talk to your child's doctor about how long it's worn. And together, you can develop ways to meet different days' schedules. It is recommended that the patch be worn for 9 hours a day, and its effects continue for 3 hours more after it's removed—helping your child at school through late-day homework and family time.
- Your child's doctor may adjust the dose or wear time of Daytrana to improve results or help manage side effects. What's more, if your child sleeps late on Saturday, the patch can go on when he or she wakes up and still come off at the usual time.
- You know how kids are. Their schedules can be different every day. The patch's flexibility—wear time up to 9 hours a day—fits with their changing routine.
Daytrana Delivers Medicine Right into the Bloodstream
That means Daytrana is not processed through the stomach so:
- Medicine is readily available to get into the bloodstream.
- Dosage strengths may be different than ADHD pills.
