ADHD medicines

ADHD treatment needs an exact medicine-and-function review; neither automatic continuation nor sudden stopping is a safe generic rule.

Direct guidance

What to know or do

Discuss dose, blood pressure, appetite, sleep, driving or work safety, coexisting mental health and what happened during previous treatment changes.

What changes the answer

  • The exact active ingredient, strength, dose, route and formulation
  • Why you use it, how often, and the pregnancy week or exposure date
  • Other prescriptions, non-prescription products, supplements and health conditions

When to get individual help

Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
