Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start using dextroamphetamine and each time you get a refill. Read and follow all directions in the Instructions for Use. Learn how to properly use, store, and discard the patches. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Apply this medication to the skin as directed by your doctor, usually once daily in the morning, 2 hours before you need the effects of this drug. Then remove the patch as directed by your doctor, usually 9 hours later. Applying this medication late in the day may cause trouble sleeping (insomnia). If you apply this patch in the early morning and still have trouble sleeping, your doctor may direct you to remove the patch within less than 9 hours. Carefully follow your doctor's instructions.

This medication should be applied to a clean, dry, hairless or nearly hairless area of skin on the upper chest, upper arm, upper back, hip, or sides of the waist (flanks). Before applying the patch, gently wash, rinse, and dry the application area. Do not apply to cut, scraped, burned, or irritated skin. Remove the patch from the pouch and apply right away as directed. Do not use a cut or damaged patch. When using a new patch the next day, apply to a different area of skin to avoid irritation. Do not apply a heating pad or other heat to the patch area since this may increase the risk of side effects. Bathing, swimming, or showering may affect how well the patch stays on the skin. If the patch does not stick properly or falls off, replace with a new patch at another site. Remove the new patch at your usual time, usually 9 hours after applying the first patch.

After removing the patch, fold it in half with the sticky sides together and throw it away as directed. Do not touch the sticky side with your fingers. Wash your hands after applying or removing the patch.

Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same time each day.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist right away if you have withdrawal.
