The name of your medicine is Medikinet® XL, it contains the active substance ‘methylphenidate hydrochloride’. The name ‘methylphenidate’ will also be used in the leaflet.
Important things you need to know about your medicine
What Medikinet® XL is and what it is used for
What it is used for
MEDIKINET® XL is used to treat ‘attention deficit hyperactivity disorder’ (ADHD).
• It is used in children and young people between the ages of 6 and 18.
• It is used only after trying treatments which do not involve medicines. Such as counselling and behavioural therapy.
MEDIKINET® XL is not for use as a treatment for ADHD in children under 6 years of age or in adults. If you have been successfully treated with MEDIKINET® XL as an adolescent for ADHD, if your symptoms persist into adulthood and a need for further therapy has been determined, it might be appropriate to continue taking MEDIKINET® XL when you become an adult. Your doctor will advise you about this.
How it works
MEDIKINET® XL improves the activity of certain parts of the brain which are under-active. The medicine can help improve attention (attention span), concentration and reduce impulsive behaviour.
The medicine is given as part of a treatment programme, which usually includes:
• psychological
• educational and
• social therapy.
MEDIKINET® XL treatment must only be initiated by, and used under the supervision of, a specialist in childhood and/or adolescent behavioural disorders. Although there is no cure for ADHD, it can be managed using treatment programmes.
About ADHD
Children and young people with ADHD find it:
• hard to sit still and
• hard to concentrate.
It is not their fault that they cannot do these things.
Many children and young people struggle to do these things. However, with ADHD they can cause problems with everyday life. Children and young people with ADHD may have difficulty learning and doing homework. They find it hard to behave well at home, at school or in other places.
ADHD does not affect the intelligence of a child or young person.

Do not take methylphenidate if any of the above apply to you or your child. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before you or your child takes methylphenidate. This is because methylphenidate can make these problems worse.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor before taking MEDIKINET® XL if you or your child

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if any of the above apply to you or your child before starting treatment. This is because methylphenidate can make these problems worse. Your doctor will want to monitor how the medicine affects you or your child.
Checks that your doctor will make before you start taking methylphenidate
These checks are to decide if methylphenidate is the correct medicine for you or your child. Your doctor will talk to you about:
• any other medicines you or your child is taking
• whether there is any family history of sudden unexplained death
• any other medical problems (such as heart problems) you or your family may have
• how you or your child is feeling, such as feeling high or low, having strange thoughts or if you or your child has had any of these feelings in the past
• whether there is a family history of ‘tics’ (hard-to-control, repeated twitching of any parts of the body or repeating sounds and words)
• any mental health or behaviour problems you or your child or other family members have ever had.
Your doctor will discuss whether you or your child is at risk of having mood swings (from being manic to being depressed - called ‘bipolar disorder’). They will check you or your child’s mental health history, and check if any of your family have a history of suicide, bipolar disorder or depression.
It is important that you provide as much information as you can. This will help your doctor decide if methylphenidate is the correct medicine for you or your child. Your doctor may decide that other medical tests are needed before you or your child start taking this medicine.
Drug testing
This medicine may give a positive result when testing for drug use.
Athletes must be aware that this medicinal product may cause a positive reaction to ‘anti-doping’ tests.
Other medicines and MEDIKINET® XL
Please tell your doctor or pharmacist if you or your child is taking, has recently taken or may take any other medicines.
Do not take methylphenidate if you or your child:
• is taking a medicine called a ‘monoamine oxidase inhibitor’ (MAOI) used for depression, or has taken a MAOI in the last 14 days. Taking a MAOI with methylphenidate may cause a sudden increase in blood pressure.
If you or your child is taking other medicines, methylphenidate may affect how well they work or may cause side effects. If you or your child is taking any of the following medicines, check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking methylphenidate:
• other medicines for depression
• medicines for severe mental health problems
• medicines for epilepsy
• medicines used to reduce or increase blood pressure
• some cough and cold remedies which contain medicines that can affect blood pressure.
It is important to check with your pharmacist when you buy any of these products.
• medicines that thin the blood to prevent blood clots.
MEDIKINET® XL must not be taken together with H2 receptor blockers or antacids which are used to reduce gastric acid secretion or to counteract excessive acitity in the stomach, as this could lead to a faster release of the total amount of active substance.
If you are in any doubt about whether any medicines you or your child is taking are included in the list above, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking methylphenidate.
Having an operation
Tell your doctor if you or your child is going to have an operation. Methylphenidate should not be taken on the day of surgery if a certain type of anaesthetic is used. This is because there is a chance of a sudden rise in blood pressure during the operation.
Taking methylphenidate with alcohol
Do not drink alcohol while taking this medicine. Alcohol may make the side effects of this medicine worse. Remember that some foods and medicines contain alcohol.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
It is not known if methylphenidate will affect an unborn baby. Tell your doctor or pharmacist before using methylphenidate if you or your daughter:
• is having sex. Your doctor will discuss contraception.
• is pregnant or think might be pregnant. Your doctor will decide whether methylphenidate should be taken.
• is breast-feeding or planning to breast-feed. It is possible that methylphenidate is passed into human breast milk. Therefore, your doctor will decide whether you or your daughter should breast-feed while taking methylphenidate.
Driving and using machines
You or your child may feel dizzy, have problems focussing or have blurred vision when taking methylphenidate. If these happen it may be dangerous to do things such as drive, use machines, ride a bike or horse or climb trees.
