How to take methylphenidate
- If you are prescribed the immediate release tablet, take these as you have been prescribed (usually 2 or 3 times a day). Take your doses at the same times each day.
- If you are prescribed the modified release tablet or capsule (usually has SR or LA after the name), take these once a day, in the morning. Swallow the modified release tablets or capsules whole, with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew them.
- You can take methylphenidate with or without food.
- Limit or avoid drinking alcohol while you are taking methylphenidate.
- If you are taking the Concerta brand of methylphenidate, you may notice the tablet shell in your stool. This is normal. Do not be concerned since the shell does not dissolve completely in your gut, but the medication was still absorbed by your body.
- If you forget to take your dose, take it as soon as you remember. But, if it is nearly time for your next dose, just take the next dose at the right time. Do not take double the dose.Where to buy Ritalin online in New Zealand & Australia
