CONCERTA helps kids with ADHD with their schoolwork throughout the day.

　



Fortunately, CONCERTA can make a difference. A medical study was conducted with school-aged children with ADHD between 612 years old. It revealed that those who had taken CONCERTA showed significant improvement on math test scores and completed more math problems accurately than when they had not taken it.

The study also showed that the OROS delivery system provides consistent symptom management through 12 hours. Children could perform well on math tests throughout the day, and even during after school hours.


One morning dose helped kids complete more math problems than they did with placebo.

If improving the school performance of your child with ADHD is a concern for you, ask your child's doctor if once-daily CONCERTA could make a difference.


IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

CONCERTA is indicated for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

CONCERTA should not be taken by patients with: significant anxiety, tension, or agitation; allergies to methylphenidate or other ingredients in CONCERTA; glaucoma; Tourette's syndrome, tics, or family history of Tourette's syndrome. Abuse of methylphenidate may lead to dependence. Tell your healthcare professional if your child has had problems with alcohol or drugs, has had depression, abnormal thoughts or visions, bipolar disorder, seizures, high blood pressure or has had any heart problems or defects. If your child develops abnormal thinking or hallucinations, abnormal, extreme moods and/or excessive activity, or if aggressive behavior or hostility develops or worsens while taking CONCERTA, consult your healthcare professional.
