Daytrana (methylphenidate transdermal system) Provides Significant,Effectiveness in ADHD Symptom Relief in Both Boys and Girls

SAN DIEGO, May 23, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Shire plc announced today that DAYTRANA(TM) (methylphenidate transdermal system), its Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) patch, had significant efficacy in reducing the symptoms of ADHD in both male and female children aged 6 to 12 years, according to clinical trial results reported at the American Psychiatric Association (APA) annual meeting in San Diego.

Studies estimated that 11.0 percent of boys have been diagnosed with ADHD in contrast to only 4.4 percent of girls. Experts believe that girls with ADHD are underdiagnosed and, therefore, undertreated.

Shire's DAYTRANA is the first and only patch medication approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat the symptoms of ADHD in children aged 6 to 12 years. DAYTRANA is available in four dosage strengths - 10 mg, 15 mg, 20 mg and 30 mg - all designed for once-daily use. When worn for the recommended nine hours, efficacy has been demonstrated from the first time point measured (two hours) through the 12-hour time point. Because Daytrana is a patch, physicians may recommend that patients shorten the wear time if shorter duration of effect is desired or t
