Ritalin Formulations: What Ritalin Users Should Know

Read below for information on Ritalin Formulations:

Most products containing methylphenidate contain a mixture of dextro-methylphenidate and levo-methylphenidate, although it is only dextro-methylphenidate, the active enantiomer, which is considered to provide the pharmacologically beneficial effect of mental focus. However, with the introduction of Focalin, pure dextro-methylphenidate is available. Described as a fast-acting form of the drug, it is absorbed more quickly by the body, with a shorter time to peak concentration (and excretion) than with the racemic compound.

The pharmacological profiles and relative usefulness of dextro- and levo-methylphenidate is similar to what is found in amphetamine, where dextro-amphetamine is considered to have a more beneficial effect than levo-amphetamine.
