Effectiveness
How Adhansia Xr Affects PatientsDexmethylphenidate is a form of methylphenidate that is more effective at treating certain conditions because it blocks the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain.
How Adhansia Xr works in the bodyMethylphenidate works by preventing dopamine and norepinephrine from being taken back into the brain. This has been shown to affect parts of the brain like the thalamus and striatum, as well as the prefrontal cortex in rats. Studies have also shown that methylphenidate can change blood flow in certain parts of the brain, such as the striatum, supplementary motor area, and posterior parietal cortex.

Adhansia Xr Toxicity & Overdose RiskDexmethylphenidate works the same in men and women. It is unclear how it affects people of different races, those under 6 years old, those with kidney or liver problems, pregnant or lactating women, or older adults. People with reduced kidney function may not need to reduce their dose. Animal studies have shown that fetuses may experience delayed bone growth and male offspring of pregnant rats may weigh less. It is important to consider the risks before taking this drug. There is no evidence that dexmethylphenidate causes cancer, but it did cause liver tumors in mice when given at twice the recommended human dose. It has been found to be
