Concerta is a central nervous stimulant which affects chemicals in the brain that contribute to hyperactivity and impulse control. Concerta is used to treat ADHD. Concerta is a brand-name for extended release methylphenidate. Methylphenidate is a controlled substance in most countries and is only dispensed under the authorization of a doctor.
Methylphenidate works by increasing two chemicals in the brain: dopamine and norepinephrine. Both chemicals play a role in focus and attention, and by raising these levels methylphenidate is able to help a person concentrate and sit still for longer periods of time.
Concerta comes in several extended release doses: 18, 27, 36, and 54 osmotic controlled release capsules.
