My Daytrana patch comes off when I'm exercising. I sweat A LOT. Any tips on how to make it stay on?

There is a cling wrap that is available in the first aid isle of stores. It works great for clinging to itself. If you have had blood drawn in the hospital or at a doctor's office, they use it there. You may want to pick up some of that when you are exercising.

Hope this helps.

Can I find this at a pharmacy/drug store?

I have some gauze in the medicine cabinet in the bathroom.

I might also still have some glue that I used to have to make the patches stick.

Couldn't the glue interfere with the effectiveness of the patch?

If u ask the company they have these clear things that go over them to keep them on. Called bioclusive, they used to send free if you have a hard time keeping patch on.

the cling wrap stuff is called coban. You can also get it on amazon, probably for cheaper. Another idea is tegaderm, it's what they use to hold IVs in place, I use it to keep a central line port in my chest in place and one stays intact through twice a day showers and daily runs for about a week. It comes in a bunch of different sizes and you can get it at probably any online medical supply store or amazon is probably easiest.
Thanks for this!
