In Australia, two stimulant medications are used in the treatment of ADHD - dexamphetamine and methylphenidate. Methylphenidate is available as a short-acting preparation (eg. Ritalin®, Attenta®) and as a long-acting or extended release preparation (eg. Ritalin LA®, Concerta®). Slow release dexamphetamine preparations may be compounded by individual chemists, but their effectiveness has not been evaluated by scientific studies. Other stimulant medications are used to treat ADHD but are not available in Australia (eg. Adderall®, Cylert®).
