What is the recommended dosage of Concerta for a 92-pound person?
The recommanded dosage is always the lowest working dose. If 18mg allows good results, then it is the correct dosage. We start at a low dose, and we increased if we don't get any result after a week trial. Blood volume, brain chemistry and metabolism are the basic determining factors for what dose is ineffective, effective or "high". Concerta is available in 18mg, 27mg, 36mg, 54mg and 72mg extended release capsules. 18mg is the common starting dose for children and 18mg to 36mg for adults depending on discretion of the doctor. The maximum dosage of Concerta should not be greater than 0.9 mg per pound of body weight. For people switching to Concerta from Ritalin, the dosage requires careful consideration because 18mg of Concerta is much different then 18mg of Ritalin due to Concerta's precision time release mechanism.
