Medications for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) currently represent the ninth largest segment of the CNS market by sales, with US$2.4 billion spent annually on this condition and 40% annual growth. Stimulant medications remain the most effective ADHD therapies and provide robust improvement in ADHD symptoms in both youth and adults. Current prescribing practices favor extended release preparations due to increased convenience, compliance and tolerability with once-daily dosing…

d-MPH and d,l- MPH appear to provide similar efficacy, and d-MPh may have longer duration of action after twice-daily dosing, but additional studies are needed to determine the statistical and clinical significance of this possibility.

The results indicate that for a given dose of methylphenidate, individual differences in DAT blockade are not the main source for the intersubject variability in MP‐induced increases in DA, which suggests that for an equivalent level of D AT blockade, MP would induce smaller DA changes in subjects with low than with high DA cell activity.

Oral methylphenidate is very effective in blocking dopamine transporters, and at the weight-adjusted doses used therapeutically (0.3 to 0.6 mg/kg), it is likely to occupy more than 50% of the dopamineTransporter.
