Methylphenidate for
ADHD: Mechanism of
Action and Formulations
Methylphenidate is a CNS stimulant approved for the treatment of narcolepsy and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methylphenidate inhibits the reuptake of dopamine and norepinephrine, increased dopaminergic and noradrenergic activity in the prefrontal cortex may explain its efficacy in ADHD. There are many formulations available, these can be grouped into short-acting, intermediate-acting, and long-acting methylphenidate. When deciding which formulation is the most suitable for a given patient, it is important to consider two parameters: time to initial effect and duration of action.
Just get a chemical lobotomy theory.
