Help your child manage everyday ADHD challenges with CONCERTA®
Everyday activities can be a challenge when your child has ADHD. But making the decision to treat your child's ADHD symptoms is an important first step. If your child has been diagnosed with ADHD, ask a healthcare professional how CONCERTA® can help your child manage ADHD symptoms.
Over 53 million prescriptions have been written for CONCERTA®. With more than 8 years of proven safety, CONCERTA® is the #1 ADHD medication prescribed by pediatricians. CONCERTA® has been proven well tolerated in clinical studies of over 2,700 children and adolescents.
Methylphenidate, the medication in CONCERTA®, is recommended among first-line therapies by the American Academy of Pediatrics as part of a total treatment program for ADHD. Part of this includes a team of people focused on helping your child like family members, caregivers, teachers, and your child's healthcare professional. This treatment approach may also include behavioral therapy.
In a study, teachers reported that children taking CONCERTA® showed improvement in ADHD symptoms as measured in areas such as focusing better, paying attention better, and completing projects that they started.
In a survey, parents reported that CONCERTA® helped their child get along better with others. Ninety-one percent said their child gets into less trouble and fewer arguments at home. And 96% of parents said their child gets into trouble less often at school.*
CONCERTA® has a low incidence of side effects. In clinical studies, less than 3% of children and adolescents experienced insomnia and less than 1% experienced a loss of appetite or moodiness. The most common adverse reaction was upper abdominal pain (5.9%).
