Purpose, Prevention & Protection
- I know dexmethylphenidate is a stimulant used to improve attention, focus, and impulse control in ADHD.
- I take only the amount prescribed because misuse can cause addiction, overdose, or death.
- I keep this controlled medicine locked in a safe place and never sell, share, or give it to anyone.
- I tell my care team about heart problems, high blood pressure, seizures, glaucoma, tics, or mood disorders.
