I'm wondering if your niece is really taking Strattera because 1. it's relatively new on the market and may not have been prescribed a year ago. You can check this on the web pretty easily. 2. As far as I know it comes in pill form. It's a little pill so I can't understand why your niece would taste anything. You can ask a doctor or contact the Lilly folks for answers about a patch. I can't imagine there would be a shot for it because it has to be taken every day. If you Google Strattera, the first site is E. Lilly's and they have an 800 number there. I hope all works out well for your family.
After much searching and family stress in trying to get Strattera into my 6 year old son who has a feeding disorder and out of control ADHD, I have found an alternative solution. He can't swallow a pill and eats only an extremely limited selection of foods. (Only two of his foods are possibilities for putting medication in.) Since Strattera is extremely bitter, I pretty much couldn't disguise it enough to get it past him in any food. At the 25mg and 40mg dosages, I could sort of hide it, but we absolutely could not get 60mg into him in any food! It seemed that he was tolerating the medicine well and been having more good days at school so I was extremely disappointed that our program was being derailed because we couldn't get the medication into him. The pharmacy we use said they couldn't make it a flavored liquid unless it was already in that form from the manufacturer. So I found a compounding pharmacy and discussed my problem with them. At first they said they could make it into a liquid and I asked could they make it into a patch because I didn't have much hope in any flavoring being able to disguise the bitter taste. The compounding pharmacy lab then said they had made it into a transdermal cream for some of their clients. I immediately felt a renewed since of hope! My son weighs almost 70 lbs and was on 60mg orally, but stepped down to 40mg transdermally. He has been on it for about 5 weeks and the jury is still out on whether it is helping. He has good days and bad days at school and daycare and I still feel we are still in the process of tweaking the dosage of the medication for the best benefit. The doctor said we would try two months of 40mg transdermally and then increase to 60mg if we didn't feel improvement was what it should be. So for you parents out there that need an alternative form of this medication, a transdermal cream might be the answer. This is a new frontier as far as the transdermal delivery of this particular medication as not much information is out there on it.
Strattera does not currently come in a patch form, at least in the United States, in 2005.
Hope this helps!

No, the patch is less effective than the shot.
up your nose or with a patch.
You should consult with your doctor or pharmacist for this answer.
No, it's not true. You are not extra fertile after the shot, pill, or patch wears off.

Birth control pills, patch, ring, shot, and Mirena IUD contain medications.
There are no known drug interactions between metformin and the patch, pill, ring, shot, IUD, or implant.
There are no known drug interactions between hydrocodone and the pill, patch, ring, shot, IUD, or condoms.
'Shot' is the past tense of the verb 'shoot', so yes, shot is a verb, but just in the past tense form.
its because u aim / for ur shot then u put it
Check that the gun is UNLOADED. Use a cleaning road, mop, patch and powder solvent to clean the bore. Push patch wet with solvent through from the back to the front. Repeat with clean patch. Repeat wet patch/ clean patch, letting solvent soak in for a couple of minutes. Wipe down exterior metal with a lightly oiled cloth. Put ONE drop of oil on the shell extractor base.
It is easy to change from the pill to the patch. Just start the patch at any time and you'll have immediate protection, as long as you start it on or before the day you were supposed to start your next pack of pills.
