Focalin Xr 10mg

Focalin XR 10mg Extended-Release Capsules (Dexmethylphenidate HCl)

Focalin XR 10mg is a prescription central nervous system (CNS) stimulant indicated for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults and pediatric patients aged 6 years and older. By utilizing an advanced extended-release bead system, a single morning dose provides balanced, all-day symptom management to help increase attention, improve focus, and reduce impulsivity or hyperactivity.

Key Benefits of Focalin XR 10mg

• All-Day Cognitive Support: Engineered with a dual-release formulation, providing an immediate release of active dexmethylphenidate followed by a gradual second release later in the day.

• Targeted ADHD Management: Helps patients stay organized, improve listening skills, and effectively manage tasks.

• Smooth Dosing: Eliminates the need for mid-day redosing at school or work.

Dosage & Administration Instructions

• How to Take: Take Focalin XR 10mg once daily in the morning, with or without food. Taking this medication late in the day may cause insomnia.

• Administration: Swallow capsules whole with water. Do not crush, chew, or divide the capsule or its internal beads, as doing so destroys the extended-release mechanism and increases the risk of side effects.
