THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
ATTENTION-DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER (ADHD)
Methylphenidate is indicated as part of a comprehensive treatment
programme for attention-deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children aged 6 years of age and over
when remedial measures alone
prove insufficient. Treatment must be under the supervision of a
specialist in childhood behavioural
disorders. Diagnosis should be made according to DSM criteria or the
guidelines in ICD-10 and should
