Description
Methylphenidate has an FDA approved indication for ADHD. In this podcast episode, I cover the pharmacology, adverse effects, kinetics, and drug interaction.
Because methylphenidate has stimulant type effects, it can raise blood pressure and heart rate.
Weight, blood pressure, and pulse are important monitoring parameters in patients taking a stimulant type medication like methylphenidate.
There are numerous dosage forms of methylphenidate which can help accommodate many different patients' needs.
