Clonidine Patch Restrictions

We are considering restricting clonidine patches to reduce usage due to several errors at our pediatric institution (not removing old patches, cutting instead of occluding, etc). Do any of your institutions have any restrictions on clonidine patch usage?

Thank you! Stephanie
