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…

Duration of effect of oral long-acting stimulant medications for ADHD throughout the day

Most long-acting stimulants exerted beneficial effects on ADHD symptoms for up to 12 hours as measured by the PERMP; the longest duration of efficacy versus placebo was seen with lisdexamfetamine dimesylate (14 hours postdose).

A more than six-fold increase of pharmaceutical spending for children and adolescents is predicted over the decade from 2002 to 2012, from the perspectives of both the NHS in England and the GKV in Germany.

Clinical recommendations in current practice guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of ADHD in adults

Current best practices in adult ADHD are examined, with considerable agreement among these guidelines that both empirical evaluation and ongoing updates as new knowledge emerges will be important for their future development.

A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride and d,l-threo-methylphenidate hydrochloride in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

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.

Relationship between blockade of dopamine transporters by oral methylphenidate and the increases in extracellular dopamine: Therapeutic implications

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.

Dopamine transporter occupancies in the human brain induced by therapeutic doses of oral methylphenidate.

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.
