Primary medical uses
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Metilfenidato helps increase attention and concentration while decreasing impulsivity and hyperactivity in both children (over 6 years old) and adults with ADHD.
- Narcolepsy: This medication is used to control episodes of irresistible daytime sleepiness, a key symptom of narcolepsy.
How it works
Metilfenidato works by increasing the levels of certain natural substances in the brain, including dopamine and norepinephrine. This increased activity in specific areas of the brain helps to improve focus and control behavior.
