What is the generic for concerta?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
2 exist: Methylphenidate extended release tablets are available is some regions. The US FDA has concerns that they are truly not equivalent. Concerta uses a proprietary capsule with laser drilled holes. This covers a sponge like center with the meds that release slowly through the holes. The capsule is coated with med that dissolves in the 1st hrs. Generics are a tablet designed for slow release.
