A member asked:

How long does concerta stay in one's urine?

Dr. Glen Elliott answered

Specializes in Child Psychiatry

Less than 24 hours: Concerta is really just a delivery system for methylphenidate, so the later is what one would fine in the urine. It typically is undetectable 24 hours after one has taken a Concerta capsule, probably sooner than that for most people.
