Methylphenidate ER (extended-release) is a prescription medication that is commonly used for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in both children and adults. It belongs to a class of drugs known as central nervous system (CNS) stimulants.Methylphenidate ER works by affecting the levels of certain chemicals in the brain, such as dopamine and norepinephrine, which are involved in regulating attention, impulse control, and hyperactivity. By enhancing the activity of these neurotransmitters, methylphenidate helps to improve focus, reduce impulsivity, and decrease hyperactivity in individuals with ADHD.
