    Pharmacist tips for Daytrana

    • Use this drug as ordered by your doctor. Read all information given to you. Follow all instructions closely. Do not use patches that are cut or do not look right. Wash your hands before and after use. Put patch on clean, dry, healthy skin on the hip. Do not put the patch on the waistline. Do not put on cuts, scrapes, eczema, or damaged skin. Put patch on in the morning and take off 9 hours later or as you have been told by the doctor. Put the patch in a new area each time you change the patch. Water from bathing, swimming, or showering can make the patch not stick well or fall off. If the patch falls off, do not touch the sticky side with your fingers. If the patch falls off, put on a new one on some other part of the same hip. Take the new patch off at the normal time. If you have been taking this drug for a long time or at high doses, it may not work as well and you may need higher doses to get the same effect. This is known as tolerance. Call your doctor if this drug stops working well. Do not take more than ordered. Limit your use of caffeine (for example, tea, coffee, cola) and chocolate. Use with this drug may cause nervousness, shakiness, and a fast heartbeat. Have your blood work checked if you are on this drug for a long time. Talk with your doctor.

These include cough or cold drugs, diet pills, stimulants, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or naproxen, and some natural products or aids.
    • You may apply the patch later in the day. Then take off the patch at your normal time of day. Do not put on 2 doses at the same time or extra doses.
    • Store at room temperature protected from light. Store in a dry place. Do not store in a bathroom. Keep patches in the pouch. Use within 2 months of opening tray. After you take off a skin patch, be sure to fold the sticky sides of the patch to each other. Throw away used patches where children and pets cannot get to them. Store this drug in a safe place where children cannot see or reach it, and where other people cannot get to it. A locked box or area may help keep this drug safe. Keep all drugs away from pets. Throw away unused or expired drugs. Do not flush down a toilet or pour down a drain unless you are told to do so. Check with your pharmacist if you have questions about the best way to throw out drugs. There may be drug take-back programs in your area.
    • If your symptoms or health problems do not get better or if they become worse, call your doctor. Do not share your drugs with others and do not take anyone else's drugs.
