[QUOTE="buddy, post: 486328, member: 12886"] I know it is daily but I will tell you some things I have done with ours (weekly).... It can come a little loose if they sweat and the disks that come with them really break down skin. I use the walgreens brand (or cvs brand or whatever, I think they are made the same place but have the store name on it) of super strength water proof bandaids (they are clear with little strings that run thru it) They are so strong that he may not be able to pull the patch off then. Kids are more used to bandaids. it may say to put it on his hip or something....but if he wont leave it alone, you can do hte middle of his back (unless he has a hairy back, some kids do) where it is not easy for him to reach. YOu can put benadryl gel on first, let it totally dry then put the patch on if you find he develops a rash or itches too much. We used to do that, now I just have it or cortisone cream ready for when I pull it off and put that on right away. Really it becomes routine. I really love having the patch for the clonidine. ritalin I like the tabs because I can control the times better but Just thought I"d share, especially when swimming times come etc. You will want the bandaid unless some magic disk is in your pack. Good luck, I sure hope this helps things! [/QUOTE]
