Physical & Chemical Properties

Physical description & handling notes

• Solid
• Dexmethylphenidate is the d-enantiomer of methylphenidate. This enantiomer is more pharmacologically active than the racemic mixture and may block norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake in synapses.

Documented Uses

• Dexmethylphenidate is used as a treatment for ADHD, ideally in conjunction with psychological, educational, behavioral or other forms of treatment.
• Breast Feeding; Lactation; Milk, Human; Adrenergic Agents; Central Nervous System Stimulants; Dopamine Agents; Sympathomimetics; Wakefulness-Promoting Agents
• Dexmethylphenidate (Class: Piperidines/PEA, Added Date: 08-2006)
• Dexmethylphenidate/Serdexmethylphenidate (Class: Depressants and Tranquilizers, Added Date: 01-2024)
• Avoid alcohol. Alcohol inhibits the metabolism of dexmethylphenidate.
• A loosely defined group of drugs that tend to increase behavioral alertness, agitation, or excitation. They work by a variety of mechanisms, but usually not by direct excitation of neurons. The many drugs that have such actions as side effects to their main therapeutic use are not included here.
