What is the age restriction to get a prescription for ritalin (methylphenidate)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: There is no particular legal age restriction for one to get a prescription for ritalin (methylphenidate). Basically, if you're talking about taking it in an older patient, then certainly things like cardiac health come into play and affect the decision to use Ritalin (methylphenidate) in a patient.
