A member asked:
Is concerta the same as adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Concerta is methylphenidate. Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) is dextroamphetamine. These are different chemically, but both are central nervous stimulants with similar side effects used mostly to treat ADD/ADHD.
