Concerta Side Effects - What to Know For Your Safety

Concerning Concerta, heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular conditions are all possible side effects.

The FDA site explains:

Caution is indicated in treating patients whose underlying medical conditions might be compromised by increases in blood pressure or heart rate, eg, those with preexisting hypertension, heart failure, recent myocardial infarction, or hyperthyroidism. Blood pressure should be monitored at appropriate intervals in patients taking CONCERTA®, especially patients with hypertension.

In the laboratory classroom clinical trials in children (Studies 1 and 2), both CONCERTA® qd and methylphenidate tid increased resting pulse by an average of 2-6 bpm and produced average increases of systolic and diastolic blood pressure of roughly 1-4 mm Hg during the day, relative to placebo.

If you or your child has suffered a serious Concerta side effect, you may be entitled to compensation for your pain & suffering. You can start the process of filing a lawsuit by filling out the simple form below for a free case evaluation.

Weitz & Luxenberg is no longer accepting Concerta cases.
