Ritalin LA 20 mg/1 (Methylphenidate Hydrochloride CAPSULE, EXTENDED RELEASE) 20 mg/1

Methylphenidate, the active ingredient in Ritalin LA, works by blocking the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine into presynaptic neurons. This increases the concentration of these neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft, which helps improve attention, focus, and impulse control in patients with ADHD.

The usual starting dose of Ritalin LA in adults is 20 mg once daily in the morning. The dosage should be determined by a healthcare professional based on the patient's individual needs and response to the medication. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and not to adjust it without consulting a doctor.

Ritalin LA should not be taken during pregnancy unless specifically advised by a doctor. The safety of Ritalin LA during breastfeeding has not been established, and it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional before using it while breastfeeding.
