Ritalin

in the brain and nerves that contribute to hyperactivity and impulse control.
Ritalin
is used to treat attention deficit disorder (ADD), attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD), and narcolepsy.
Ritalin
may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Before
taking this medicine
Do
not use Ritalin if you have used an MAO inhibitor in the past 14 days. A
dangerous drug interaction could occur. MAO inhibitors include isocarboxazid,
linezolid, methylene blue injection, phenelzine, rasagiline, selegiline,
tranylcypromine, and others.
You
should not use Ritalin if you are allergic to it, or if you have:
- glaucoma;
- a personal or family
history of tics (muscle twitches) or Tourette's syndrome; or
- severe anxiety,
tension, or agitation (stimulant medicine can make these symptoms worse).
Some
stimulants have caused sudden death in certain people. Tell your doctor if you
have:
- heart problems or
a congenital heart defect;
- high blood
pressure; or
- a family history
of heart disease or sudden death.
How
should I take Ritalin?
Take
Ritalin exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Using this medicine, improperly
can cause death or serious side effects on the heart.
Read
all patient information, medication guides, and instruction sheets provided to
you. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.

all directions on your prescription label. Your doctor may occasionally change
your dose to make sure you get the best results. Do not take this medicine in

normal release tablets should be taken at least 30 to 45 minutes before a meal.
Extended-release Ritalin LA capsules or Ritalin SR tablets can be taken with or
without food. Follow the directions on your medicine label
Do
not crush, chew, or break an extended-release Ritalin SR tablet. Swallow the tablet
whole. Breaking the tablet may cause too much of the drug to be released at one
time.
To
make swallowing easier, you may carefully open the Ritalin LA capsule and
sprinkle the beads over a spoonful of applesauce. The applesauce should not be
warm as it could affect the release properties of the medicine. Swallow the
applesauce and medicine mixture without chewing. Do not save the mixture for
later use. Follow with a drink of water or other liquid. Never chew or crush
the capsule or the medicine beads inside the capsule.
While
using this medicine, your doctor will need to check your progress at regular
visits. Your heart rate, blood pressure, height and weight may also need to be
checked often.
