Equasym XL 20 mg Modified-Release Capsules
Equasym XL 20 mg is a prescription-only central nervous system (CNS) stimulant designed as part of a comprehensive treatment program for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Formulated with methylphenidate hydrochloride, this modified-release capsule is specifically engineered to align with the typical school or workday schedule, providing a balanced, dual-action release of medication.
How Equasym XL 20 mg Works
Equasym XL utilizes a specialized delivery system that features a 30% immediate-release component and a 70% extended-release component.
-
The Immediate Phase: Delivers an initial 6 mg dose of methylphenidate to help kickstart focus and concentration in the morning.
-
The Extended Phase: Gradually releases the remaining 14 mg throughout the afternoon, eliminating the need for a midday lunchtime dose.
By targeting and balancing specific neurotransmitters (dopamine and norepinephrine) in the brain, it helps improve attention spans, enhance cognitive focus, and minimize impulsive or hyperactive behaviors.
