Abstract

The effects of different methylphenidate (MPH) delivery profiles on driving performance of 6 male ADHD adolescents, aged 16 to 19 years, were evaluated by a randomized, crossover, single-blind study comparing controlled-release (OROS) MPH (Concerta) given q.d. to immediate-release MPH (Ritalin) in equal doses t.i.d. in a study at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA.
