How safe and effective is Daytrana patch for reddish passage of urine?
Patient: My 7 year old son has been on the Daytrana patch since last Monday. He gets .7mg of Daytrana. He had reddish urine tonight, I thought it might have been blood. The patch was accidentally left on for almost 12 hours today. He told me a few days ago his urine had also been red. Is htis because the patch was not removed promptly after 9 hours? Doctor: Thanks for question.I understand your concern. Color of urine depends from taking food, medicines,flavors. When child takes methylphenidate side effects occur  :-Black stool-blood in the urine or stools-blurred vision -convulsions-crusting, dryness, or flaking of the skin-muscle cramps  I suggest:1.Give urine analysis.2.Take  Charcoal 1 tablet /10kg for absorption of medicine3.Vitamin E 1 capsule once for 1 month.4.Ascorutin 1 tablet once for 1 month, Dicynone 1 tablet twice a day for 2 days for blood in urine.
