MetadateThis page contains recent news articles, when available, and an overview of Metadate but does not offer medical advice. You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.Overview: Metadate (when available) Methylphenidate, a central nervous system stimulant chemically similar to the amphetamines, is used to treat narcolepsy, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children, post-stroke depression or other depressive disorders. Children with attention deficit disorders Mechanism Of Action: Methylphenidate blocks dopamine uptake in central adrenergic neurons by blocking dopamine transport or carrier proteins. Methylphenidate acts at the brain stem arousal system and the cerebral cortex and causes increased sympathomimetic activity in the central nervous system. Alteration of serotonergic pathways via changes in dopamine transport may result.

Use cautiously with pressor agents. Human pharmacologic studies have shown that Ritalin may inhibit the metabolism of coumarin anticoagulants, anticonvulsants (phenobarbital, diphenylhydantoin, primidone), phenylbutazone, and tricyclic drugs (imipramine, clomipramine, desipramine). Downward dosage adjustments of these drugs may be required when given concomitantly with Ritalin. Serious adverse events have been reported in concomitant use with clonidine, although no causality for the combination has been established. The safety of using methylphenidate in combination with clonidine or other centrally acting alpha-2 agonists has not been systemically evaluated. |
