What is Dexmethylphenidate ER?

Dexmethylphenidate ER is an extended-release stimulant FDA-approved for use in patients with ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder) or sometimes used off-label for narcolepsy. Dexmethylphenidate ER increases levels of certain brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that are responsible for attention, focus, and impulse control. Restoring these chemicals helps relieve the inattentiveness, hyperactivity, lack of focus, and impulse control typical of ADHD.

Dexmethylphenidate ER is administered as a capsule once a day.

What are the side effects of Dexmethylphenidate ER?

Dexmethylphenidate ER has many side effects, but the most common are sleeplessness, headache, stomach ache, heart rate changes, dry mouth, and loss of appetite. Dexmethylphenidate ER has been shown to stunt the growth of children slightly and is not approved for use in patients less than 6 years old.

Mental and mood changes are common side effects and include anxiety, restlessness, depression, and flattened mood, among others. Stimulants do have the potential to be abused and misused.

Allergic reactions to Dexmethylphenidate ER are uncommon and may include swelling or trouble breathing.

Patients mistakenly diagnosed with ADHD will not benefit from Dexmethylphenidate ER. Rather than relieve inattentiveness or lack of impulse control, Dexmethylphenidate ER will act like a stimulant and result in ADHD-like symptoms, such as restlessness, hyperactivity, nervousness, anxiety, increased inattentiveness, high blood pressure, and paranoia, among other side effects.

Is there a cheaper alternative to Dexmethylphenidate ER?

There are many cheaper prescription drug alternatives to Dexmethylphenidate ER available to treat ADHD symptoms. There is an immediate-release form of Dexmethylphenidate ER that contains the same ingredient, along with other alternatives that contain similar ingredients (methylphenidate and amphetamine). Generic methylphenidate (Ritalin) and amphetamine (Evekeo) are low-cost alternatives. Brand-name Adderall is available as generic dextroamphetamine-amphetamine.

If an alternative to a stimulant is needed to treat symptoms of ADHD, there are norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors available.

As always, SingleCare coupons are reliable ways to save on alternative drugs, too.
