Methylphenidate

Description:

Methylphenidate, with the CAS number 113-45-1, is a central nervous system stimulant primarily used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. It is classified as a piperidine derivative and is structurally related to amphetamines. Methylphenidate functions by inhibiting the reuptake of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain, thereby increasing their availability and enhancing neurotransmission. The substance appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder and is typically administered in various formulations, including immediate-release and extended-release tablets. Its pharmacological effects include increased attention span, improved focus, and reduced impulsivity. Methylphenidate is subject to regulation due to its potential for abuse and dependence, necessitating careful monitoring during treatment. Common side effects may include insomnia, decreased appetite, and increased heart rate. Overall, methylphenidate is an important therapeutic agent in managing ADHD, but it requires responsible use under medical supervision.

Methylphenidate is a drug that is used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. It is also used as a treatment for the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome. Methylphenidate has a high potential for abuse and can lead to addiction. It may also cause withdrawal symptoms when stopped abruptly, or even when the dosage is decreased. The drug increases dopamine levels in the brain by inhibiting its reuptake by nerve cells, which leads to increased concentration, improved mood, and reduced appetite. Methylphenidate has been shown to be effective in treating ADHD and narcolepsy but should be monitored carefully due to its addictive properties.
