A member asked:
How is methylphenidate similar to cocaine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both stimulants: They have a different mechanism of action at the cellular level which helps explain why mph can be prescribed safely for certain conditions. Cocaine can be safely used as a topical anesthesia but that's it.
