How the Daytrana ADHD patch works
ByI am using this post to bring you a technical video on how the Daytrana patch works.
Daytrana is a new ‘transdermal’ patch - meaning that it delivers the medication for ADHD through the skin. This is very helpful for children who cannot swallow pills, but are benefiting from their ADHD medication.
The active medicine in Daytrana is methylphenidate. Methylphenidate is the same medication as: Ritalin, Concerta, Metadate, and Biphentin. Sometimes people actually call the patch the ‘ritalin patch’.
This video shows you how the patch actually works - and how it delivers medication.
Enjoy!

Hi,
Daytrana is not in Canada yet. You can expect it in late 2010 at the earliest (to my best knowledge). If you subscribe to my email list, I will certainly update when the information becomes available.
Best,
Dr. Kenny
