DrugBank ID	DB06701
Name	Dexmethylphenidate
Groups	investigational approved
Description	Dexmethylphenidate is the dextrorotary form of methylphenidate introduced in 2002[A177181]. It is a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI) and thus a psychostimulant[A177193]. It is used for treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)[Label,A177181]. The d-isomer is thought to have greater effect with fewer side effects than the l-isomer or the racemic mixture[A177181].
Synonyms	methyl (R)-phenyl[(R)-piperidin-2-yl]acetate d-threo-methylphenidate Dexméthylphénidate Dexmethylphenidate (+)-threo-methylphenidate Dexmethylphenidatum D-TMP Dexmetilfenidato Dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride
Brand Names	Focalin XR Focalin Dexmethylphenidate HCl FocalinXR Azstarys Dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride Attenade Dexmethylphenidate Hydrochloride Extended-Release Dexmethylphenidate Hydrochloride
Indication	Dexmethylphenidate is used as a treatment for ADHD, ideally in conjunction with psychological, educational, behavioral or other forms of treatment[A177187,Label].
