Typical dosage for Daytrana

Daytrana comes as a patch that's applied to the hip area 2 hours before you need the medication's effects to kick in. Then, the patch is removed 9 hours after putting it on.

The typical starting dose is a 10 mg patch applied to the skin once daily for at least a week. Your child's prescriber will slowly raise the dose, no sooner than once per week, based on how well the medication is working and whether there are bothersome side effects. The maximum dose is a 30 mg patch once per day.
