  • Methylphenidate Hydrochloride 1.1mg/1h, Transdermal Patch - 9 hour

    • Interaction: Alcohol
    • Severity: Major
    • Notes for Consumers: Do not drink alcoholic beverages while taking certain extended-release Methylphenidate products such as Ritalin LA and Metadate CD.

    • Notes for Professionals: Alcohol consumption should be avoided during treatment with certain extended-release (ER) dosage forms of methylphenidate (e.g., Ritalin LA, Metadate CD). Results from an in vitro study showed that at an alcohol concentration of 40%, there was a 98% release of extended-release methylphenidate (Ritalin LA) from the 40 mg capsule in the first hour after administration. In addition, concurrent use with alcohol may exacerbate the CNS-related adverse effects of methylphenidate.
