Dexmethylphenidate ER is an FDA-approved extended-release stimulant for ADHD, improving focus by increasing dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain. It is prescribed by licensed providers on Klarity Health after evaluation.
Dexmethylphenidate ER, also known as Focalin XR, is an extended-release stimulant medication used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It contains dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride, a refined form of methylphenidate, designed to deliver steady symptom control throughout the day.
This medication works by targeting the brain’s dopamine and norepinephrine pathways. It blocks their reuptake into neurons, increasing their levels and helping to regulate attention, reduce impulsivity, and control hyperactivity.
Dexmethylphenidate ER is FDA-approved for children aged 6 and older and adults diagnosed with ADHD. A licensed healthcare provider must evaluate whether this medication is appropriate for your specific needs.
On Klarity Health, a licensed provider will review your medical history and symptoms during an initial consultation. If deemed suitable, they can prescribe dexmethylphenidate ER and send the prescription to your preferred pharmacy. Book your consultation today to start your ADHD treatment journey.
Available in 5- to 40-milligram capsules, the typical starting dose for adults is 10 mg once daily in the morning. Capsules can be taken with or without food. If needed, your provider may adjust doses gradually, with a maximum of 40 mg daily.
Common side effects include dry mouth, decreased appetite, headache, indigestion, and anxiety. Serious but rare effects can include heart issues, increased blood pressure, psychosis, and circulation problems. Report any adverse effects to your provider or FDA MedWatch.
The price for 100 capsules varies by dosage, with the lowest at around $258.50 for 5 mg and highest at $581.30 for 40 mg. Many insurance plans cover generic dexmethylphenidate ER, and discounts are available through various prescription savings programs, making treatment affordable.
Dexmethylphenidate ER is considered more potent than standard methylphenidate formulations like Ritalin, often effective at lower doses with fewer side effects. It belongs to the CNS stimulant class, similar to Adderall and Ritalin. Non-stimulant options like Strattera and Qelbree are also available, with different mechanisms and side effect profiles.
