Concerta is
a relatively new medication used in the treatment of ADHD. It has a
convenient once-a-day dosing, with medication that lasts for 12 hours. The
medicine in the Concerta tablet is the same that has been used for years,
but the delivery system has changed. The Concerta tablet is coated with
medication that starts to work immediately. The rest of the medication is
delivered to the body through a hole in the tablet. It is released slowly
throughout the day, eliminating the need for another dose in the middle of
the school day. Concerta is a relatively safe medication with few side effects. Of those reported, the most common ones included headache (14%), stomach ache (7%), vomiting (4%), decreased appetite (4%), sleeplessness (4%), cough (4%), sore throat (4%), and dizziness (2%). |
