This medication is primarily used in the treatment of ADHD, Narcolepsy, Attention Deficit Disorder, Depression, and Bipolar Disorder.

The slow release formulation of Methylphenidate HCl 10 mg is compounded with Methocel E4M, a type of controlled-release polymer. This design allows for the gradual release of the encapsulated medication over an extended period of time, offering sustained therapeutic effects. This not only enhances the effectiveness of the medication but also reduces the dosing frequency, thereby improving patient compliance.

Furthermore, this formulation is gluten-free, making it a suitable option for patients with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. This is part of our commitment to providing personalized medication solutions that cater to the unique needs and preferences of our patients.

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Methylphenidate HCl 10 mg Slow Release Capsules (Gluten Free) is specifically designed for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Narcolepsy, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Depression, and Bipolar Disorder. Methylphenidate, the active ingredient, is a central nervous system stimulant that functions by augmenting the quantity of certain natural substances in the brain, which are essential for controlling behavior and attention.

It is crucial to understand that Methylphenidate should not be used as a remedy for tiredness or to delay sleep in individuals who do not have a sleep disorder. Furthermore, Methylphenidate may interact with other medications, including monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), tricyclic antidepressants, and other stimulants. Therefore, it is vital to inform your healthcare provider about all other medications, vitamins, and herbs you are currently taking before initiating treatment with Methylphenidate.

Patients should be cognizant of the potential side effects of Methylphenidate, which may include decreased appetite, difficulty sleeping, headache, stomachache, and weight loss. If you experience any of these side effects, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider. Additionally, Methylphenidate should not be used in conjunction with alcohol or other drugs that can induce drowsiness. It is also worth noting that Methylphenidate may cause an increase in blood pressure and heart rate.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
