how to get the backing off of Daytrana | ADHD Information

Hey cool I tried that this morning, it went on just fine!  Thanks! Yeah today was the first day on daytrana... ugh the backing SUCKS!!  Thanks for the tipI put mine in the frig.  for about 30 mintues and it does come off a lot easier.  I avoid touching the patch until I'm ready to put it on.  If you hold it for too long, the warmth of your hands get the glue going.    I loosen an edge on both sides (from the middle line), the I pull off one side and stick it to the skin, then I pull the other side that I've already loosened.  If I have any trouble with the backing sticking, I use my fingernail and scrap the edge where it is sticking.  It usually comes right off.

I've lost a few before I started doing it this way.....since I've started, I haven't lost one.

HTH!

Hi,

 I have not read all of the posts about Daytrana, so if this is a repeat, I am sorry.  I cannot get the backing off of the 10 mg batch of Daytrana.  I have tried to put it in the freezer, but nothing is working. 

 Does anyone have good ideas to get the backing off without it sticking?

Thanks,

Laura

I forgot to add that you really need to put your hand over the patch for at least 30 seconds after you apply it.  The heat from your hand bonds the patch to the skin.

Glad I could help!

I find it's best to take all the backing off and then put it on my son.  If I put one side on him first I can't seem to get the edge of the other side to pull it off.  It's fine to take it all off you just have to be quick at putting it on and try not to touch it too much.  I've tried wearing gloves as well so I don't get it on my skin but that sure didn't work that was quite funny.  Ended up losing the patch to the glove.  Not so funny with the cost though.
