Quick Tip for Using the Daytrana Patch
Q:
"My son's doctor prescribed the stimulant patch, Daytrana. I find it difficult to peel off the protective covering, and I’ve ruined several patches. Any suggestions?"
A:
One of my patients discovered this trick: Store patches in the refrigerator. They seem to peel more easily when they’re cold. So far, all the patients I’ve shared this tip with say that it works well.
