Most simply, they are two different drugs. Concerta is a sustained-release formulation of methylphenidate, and Adderall XR is an extended-release formulation of a mixture of amphetamine salts. It's like the difference between Ritalin and Adderall, which are the immediate-release forms. Both drugs are stimulants, usually prescribed for ADD/ADHD. Methylphenidate is said to not be as strong a stimulant as amphetamine, but is still controlled as tightly.
There are only 2 possible difference, being price and inactive ingredients. The tablets will still contain the 1/4 dextroamphetamine saccharate, 1/4 dextroamphetamine sulfate, and 1/2 racemic mixture of two amphetamine salts (aspartate and sulfate, I believe) at concentrations identical to that of brand name Adderall as regulated by the FDA. I've taken both the brand name and generic Adderall before and did not experience any difference in quality.
There are no known drug interactions between Adderall and Mirena.
No, it is a stimulant used as an ADD/ADHD medication.
Biphentin is a long-acting form of the stimulant drug methylphenidate, which is better known by its most common brand name, Ritalin. It is used to treat ADHD (attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder).
Answer: Concerta and Adderall aren't very much different at all, except Adderall is more effective and Concerta has less side effects. They both are dopamine reuptake inhibitors. Adderal just seems to be more potent. Concerta is less addictive as well. hope this helps, Megan.******
Yes. My doctor is aware that I do both.
Dextroamphetamine is a specific form of amphetamine, while amphetamine salts are a combination of different forms of amphetamine. Dextroamphetamine is the active ingredient in medications like Adderall, while amphetamine salts are found in medications like Adderall XR.
Methylphenidate and Adderall are both medications used to treat ADHD, but they work in slightly different ways. Methylphenidate primarily increases the levels of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain, while Adderall also increases the levels of these neurotransmitters but also releases more of them. Additionally, Adderall contains a combination of amphetamine salts, while methylphenidate is a single compound. Both medications can be effective in managing ADHD symptoms, but individual responses may vary.
1 30mg capsule = 6 5mg capsules. The only difference is the amount of beads inside the capsules, the chemical make-up and concentration of the individual beads is identical.
