Ava, 9 years old
Like all of us, children with ADHD appreciate having a choice, to help meet their individual needs and preferences. For example, while an oral solution of methylphenidate has particular utility for children who have difficulty swallowing or an aversion to tablets, others may simply prefer a non-solid formulation.
Providing a choice of formulation is consistent with NICE guideline NG87 (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: diagnosis and management), which says:1
ADHD: attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder
Methylphenidate Hydrochloride 2mg/ml oral solution is the first and only licensed, immediate-release, non-solid formulation of this medicine, indicated as a part of a comprehensive treatment programme for ADHD in children aged 6 years of age and over when remedial measures alone prove insufficient.2 Treatment must be under the supervision of a specialist in childhood behavioural disorders.2
ADHD: attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder
We asked children with ADHD to draw pictures of how having a choice makes them feel, to help grown-ups understand the importance of choice to them. The results are fabulously creative and very insightful.
See for yourself!
The availability of the first licensed methylphenidate oral solution for children aged 6 years+ enables you to offer greater choice – to help meet individual needs and support effective therapy.
