A member asked:
Is ritalin (methylphenidate) completely gone from your body after its 4-6 hours effectivity ? so can i drink in moderation after that duration ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Drug Levels: Nope. Absolutely not. It is not gone for at least a day or two. It is less effective or the blood levels are not therapeutic after six hours. One should not be drinking alcohol while taking this medication.
