Ritalin is a stimulant. The purpose is to help the brain be more selective in the way it filters and responds to various stimuli. Ritalin is used to treat Narcolepsy, Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
Important information :
Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Methylphenidate may cause dizziness, drowsiness, blurred vision, or impair your ability to concentrate. If you experience dizziness, drowsiness, blurred vision, or impaired concentration, avoid these activities.
Do not crush, chew, or break the sustained- or extended-release formulations of methylphenidate (Ritalin SR, Ritalin LA, Metadate ER, Metadate CD, Methylin ER, Concerta). Swallow these whole with water or another beverage. They are specially formulated to release medication slowly in the body. Alternatively, the Ritalin LA and Metadate CD capsules may be opened and the contents sprinkled onto a tablespoon of applesauce (not warm), and the mixture swallowed immediately. Do not save the mixture for later use. The capsule contents should be swallowed whole and not crushed or chewed.
