Methylphenidate extended-release

Methylphenidate extended-release is a medication used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. It works by affecting certain chemicals in the brain that help improve focus, attention, and impulse control. The extended-release formulation means the medication is designed to release slowly over time, providing a longer period of symptom control with a single dose daily. This can help reduce the frequency of dosing and minimize the ups and downs in medication levels, leading to more consistent management of symptoms throughout the day.
