what they start. It can even improve their relationships and performance in school. CONCERTA® is the #1 prescribed medication
for ADHD in children and adolescents that works through 12 hours and has seven years of proven safety. Studies also show
CONCERTA® was well
tolerated, with
5% or
less
of patients experiencing
insomnia or loss of appetite.

professional
