Concerta indications

Concerta is used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children from 6 years old and adults.

It is also possible to buy Concerta online in our pharmacy for the treatment of depression.

Concerta for depression

Concerta is also used in the treatment of depression (with or without the presence of ADHD) in adjuvant therapy.

The drug is also used to treat depression in patients with multidrug-resistant treatment of the disorder with antidepressants.

Concerta has been shown to be highly effective in the treatment of depression in adults at doses of 10 to 40 mg a day. 

Concerta vs Adderall

Both of these medications are effective in treating symptoms of ADHD, but Concerta is a long-acting drug and Adderall does not last as long. However, there is a long-acting version of Adderall called Adderall XR

Concerta is a drug that contains the active ingredient methylphenidate in a long-acting form. Concerta is almost the same as Ritalin, but Concerta releases the drug evenly and for a longer period of time.

This prolonged action is the main difference between Concerta and analogues with the active ingredient methylphenidate.

Adderall, on the other hand, is also used to treat ADHD, but it contains other active ingredients, namely amphetamine and dextroamphetamine.

The action of Concerta lasts 12 hours after a single dose, while the action of Adderall reaches its peak in about 3 hours, and Adderall XR lasts about the same amount of time - about 12 hours.

How many mg of Concerta is equal to Adderall?

The Adderall version is not comparable to Concerta because they are effective for different periods of time. However, it is estimated that about 36 mg of Concerta is equivalent to 10 mg of Adderall XR (long-acting).
