How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Cotempla XR-ODT). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Methylphenidate is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant.
The mode of therapeutic action in ADHD is not known.
In humans, methylphenidate is metabolized primarily via deesterification to alpha-phenyl-piperidine acetic acid (ritalinic acid).
After oral administration of radiolabeled methylphenidate in humans, methylphenidate was extensively metabolized and approximately 80% of the radioactivity was excreted in the urine in the form of PPAA.
