What's the highest my heart rate should be when taking concerta?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Resting Rate 100 : Rapid heart rate is not a common side effect seen when taking Concerta (generic methylphenidate), but it can occur. 60 to 100 beats per minute (BPM) is considered a normal resting adult heart rate. Anything above 100 BPM would be considered abnormal. It is very important to establish a patient's baseline heart rate prior to treatment as some patients normally have heart rates greater than 100.
