A member asked:
Why do i have a bowel movement after taking ritalin (methylphenidate) everytime?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bowel movements: Ritalin (methylphenidate) can increase your rate of metabolism. This in turn can increase the transit time of waste products through your bowel resulting in a bowel movement.
