Concerta (Methylphenidate) for ADHD
Concerta (Methylphenidate) for ADHD
Concerta, a well-known drug for ADHD, is frequently prescribed to young people, adolescents, and adults. It is described as a stimulant and is usually most effective when used as part of a complete treatment plan that may involve behavioral therapy, educational support, and some lifestyle modifications.
Although many children with ADHD continue to experience symptoms into adulthood, Concerta is usually only recommended for adults whose ADHD symptoms started in childhood.

Dosage instructions
The doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on individual needs. The prescribed dose will be clearly stated on the label. Treatment generally starts with a low dose, which may be gradually increased to find the lowest effective dose. Since Methylphenidate can affect heart rate and blood pressure, these may be monitored regularly before any dose adjustments are made
