 ====== Methylphenidate Preparations ======
-Methylphenidate is available in 2 different isomer formulations. It is essential to know which formulation you are dealing with when converting from 1 stimulant to another. Those conversions are less precise if the new medication has a different formulation of isomers than the old one.

-  * The stimulants also vary in their duration of action, from 3-5 hours with Ritalin to 16 hours with Adhansia and Mydayis. If you are switching to a stimulant with a longer duration of action, you may need to raise the dose because it will be spread out over a longer period of time.

   * All conversions are approximate,particularly when converting among different isomer mixes.
-  * For methylphenidate, most of the potency is due to it's dexIsomer, so you can convert from methylphenidate (which is 50%dex) to dexmethy|phenidate (100% dex) by cutting the dosein half.
