1. What is Medikinet CR and what is it used for

What is it used for?

Medikinet CR is used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

• It is used in children aged 6 and over and in adults.
• It is used only if previous attempts at treatment without medication, such as psychological counseling and behavioral therapy, have been unsuccessful.

Medikinet CR is not used to treat ADHD in children under 6 years of age.

How does Medikinet CR work?

Medikinet CR improves reduced activity in certain areas of the brain. This medicine may help prolong attention span, improve concentration, and reduce impulsive behavior.
This medicine is used as part of a treatment program that usually includes psychotherapy, educational treatment, and social therapy.
Treatment with Medikinet CR should only be initiated and continued by a specialist in the treatment of ADHD, such as a pediatrician, child and adolescent psychiatrist, or psychiatrist.
A thorough examination by such a doctor is required. If the patient is an adult and has not been treated before, the doctor will conduct tests to confirm that ADHD has been present since childhood, and only then will treatment with Medikinet CR be initiated.
Although there is no cure for ADHD, the condition can be controlled with appropriate therapeutic programs.

About ADHD

Children and adolescents with ADHD have difficulty:

• sitting still and
• focusing their attention.

This is not their fault, as these activities are very difficult for them.
ADHD can occur in patients with varying severity, with symptoms such as:

• lack of concentration
• restlessness
• increased motor activity
• impulsiveness
• emotional instability
• disorganized thinking

This is exemplified by:

• difficulty concentrating
• forgetfulness
• talking too much
• difficulty planning and completing tasks
• "acting on impulse"
• impatience

ADHD does not negatively affect the patient's intelligence.

2. Important information before taking Medikinet CR

When not to take Medikinet CR

If the patient:

• has been diagnosed with hypersensitivity to methylphenidate or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
• has a thyroid disease;
• has increased eye pressure (glaucoma);
• has an adrenal gland tumor (pheochromocytoma);
• has eating disorders characterized by a lack of appetite or need to eat, such as anorexia nervosa;
• has very high blood pressure or narrowing of blood vessels, which can cause arm and leg pain;
• has had heart problems, such as a heart attack, irregular heartbeat, chest pain or discomfort, heart failure, heart disease, or congenital heart defects;
• has had cerebrovascular problems, such as stroke, aneurysm, or vasculitis;
• is currently taking or has taken monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) in the last 14 days - see "Medikinet CR and other medicines";
• has mental health problems, such as:
• psychopathic disorders or borderline personality disorder;
• abnormal thoughts or visions, or a condition called "schizophrenia";
• symptoms of severe mood disorders, such as suicidal thoughts; severe depression, where the patient feels deep sadness, worthlessness, and hopelessness; mania, where the patient feels extremely agitated, overactive, and uninhibited;
• has a history of severe gastric acid deficiency (achlorhydria) with a pH above 5.5;
• is taking medicines that reduce gastric acid secretion or treat excess stomach acid (H2 receptor antagonists, proton pump inhibitors, or antacids).

If any of the above situations apply to the patient, they should not take methylphenidate.
In case of doubts, the patient should consult a doctor or pharmacist before taking methylphenidate. This is important because methylphenidate may worsen the above problems.

Warnings and precautions

Before taking Medikinet CR, the patient should talk to their doctor if:

• they have liver or kidney problems;
• they have difficulty swallowing or taking whole tablets;
• they have had seizures (convulsions, epilepsy) or abnormal brain test results (e.g., EEG);
• they have ever abused or been dependent on alcohol, prescription drugs, or narcotics;
• they are a female who has started menstruating (see "Pregnancy and breastfeeding" below);
• they have uncontrollable repetitive movements or sounds (tics);
• they have high blood pressure;
• they have heart problems not listed in the "When not to take Medikinet CR" section above;
• they have mental health problems not listed in the "When not to take Medikinet CR" section above. Other mental health problems include:
• mood swings (from mania to depression - a condition called "bipolar disorder");
• appearance of aggressive or hostile behavior, or increased aggression;
• seeing, hearing, or feeling things that do not exist (hallucinations);
• believing in things that are not real (delusions);
• excessive suspicion (paranoia);
• feeling agitated, restless, or tense;
• feeling depressed or guilty. Before starting treatment, the patient should inform their doctor or pharmacist if they experience any of these conditions. Methylphenidate may worsen them. The doctor will monitor how the medicine affects the patient's condition.

During treatment, boys and young men may experience unexpected prolonged erections. This can be painful and can occur at any time. If an erection lasts longer than 2 hours, especially if it is painful, the patient should immediately contact their doctor.

Medical examination before taking methylphenidate

The examination aims to determine whether methylphenidate is a suitable medicine for the patient. The doctor will discuss with the patient:

• any other medicines being taken;
• any cases of sudden and unexplained death in the family;
• any other medical problems (e.g., heart disease) that the patient or their family members may have;
• the patient's well-being, such as their depression or euphoria, strange thoughts, and any history of such conditions;
• any history of tics (uncontrollable repetitive movements or sounds) in the patient's family;
• any mental health or behavioral problems that the patient or their family members may have had.

The doctor will discuss with the patient the risk of mood swings (from mania to depression - a condition called "bipolar disorder"). The doctor will also take a mental health history of the patient and determine if there have been any cases of suicide, bipolar disorder, or depression in the patient's family.
It is very important to provide the doctor with as much information as possible. Based on this information, the doctor will determine whether methylphenidate is a suitable medicine for the patient. The doctor will also decide whether any additional medical tests are necessary before starting treatment with this medicine.

Drug test

This medicine may cause a positive result in drug tests.
Athletes should be aware that this medicine may give positive results in anti-doping tests.

Medikinet CR and other medicines

The patient should tell their doctor or pharmacist about all medicines they are currently taking or have recently taken, as well as any medicines they plan to take.

Do not take methylphenidate if:

• the patient is taking a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) for depression or has taken an MAOI in the last 14 days. Taking MAOIs with methylphenidate may cause a sudden increase in blood pressure.

If the patient is taking other medicines, methylphenidate may affect their action or cause side effects. The patient should tell their doctor or pharmacist if they are taking medicines for:

• depression;
• mental health problems;
• epilepsy;
• high blood pressure;
• coughs and colds. Some of these products contain substances that can affect blood pressure. When buying any of these products, the patient should consult a pharmacist.
• medicines that thin the blood and prevent blood clots.

Medikinet CR should not be taken at the same time as H2 receptor antagonists, proton pump inhibitors, or antacids used to reduce gastric acid secretion or treat excess stomach acid, as this may lead to faster release of the active substance into the body.
If in doubt about whether a medicine is on the above list, the patient should ask their doctor or pharmacist before taking methylphenidate.

Surgery

The patient should inform their doctor about any planned surgery. Methylphenidate should not be taken on the day of surgery if a certain type of anesthesia is used. This is due to the possibility of a sudden increase in blood pressure during surgery.

Taking methylphenidate with alcohol

The patient should not consume alcohol while taking this medicine. Alcohol may increase the side effects of this medicine. The patient should remember that alcohol is also contained in some food products and medicines.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Available data do not indicate an increased risk of congenital malformations overall, although a slight increase in the risk of congenital heart defects during the first three months of pregnancy cannot be ruled out. The doctor will be able to provide the patient with more information about this risk. Before taking methylphenidate, the patient should inform their doctor or pharmacist if:

• they are sexually active. The doctor will recommend appropriate contraception.
• they are pregnant or may be pregnant. The doctor will decide whether to continue treatment with methylphenidate.
• they are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. Methylphenidate may pass into breast milk. Therefore, the doctor will decide whether breastfeeding is possible during treatment with methylphenidate.

Driving and using machines

While taking methylphenidate, the patient may experience dizziness, drowsiness, difficulty focusing their eyes, blurred vision, hallucinations, or other central nervous system side effects. If these symptoms occur, performing activities such as driving, operating machinery, riding a bicycle, or horse riding, as well as climbing trees, may be dangerous.

Medikinet CR contains sucrose

Sucrose

If the patient has previously been diagnosed with intolerance to some sugars, they should contact their doctor before taking the medicine.

Sodium

The medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of sodium per capsule, which means the medicine is considered "sodium-free".

3. How to take Medikinet CR

Medikinet CR should always be taken as directed by the doctor. In case of doubts, the patient should consult their doctor or pharmacist.

Dosage

Use in children
The maximum daily dose is 60 mg.

• The doctor usually starts treatment with a small dose and gradually increases it as needed.
• The doctor will inform the patient which strength of capsule to take each day.
• The capsule should not be divided. The patient should always take the whole contents.
• Medikinet CR should not be taken too late in the morning, as it may cause sleep disturbances.

Use in adults
Adult patients who have previously taken Medikinet CR

• If the patient took Medikinet CR as a child or adolescent, the same daily dose (mg/day) can be used. The doctor will regularly monitor the patient's condition to determine if the dose needs to be adjusted.
• Adult patients may require a higher daily dose than children, but the doctor will aim to give the patient the smallest effective dose.
• The maximum daily dose is determined based on factors such as the patient's body weight (see below).

Adult patients who have not previously taken Medikinet CR
The recommended starting dose is 10 mg per day.

• The doctor will increase the dose by 10 mg per day, depending on the patient's tolerance and response to the medicine.
• The goal is to find the smallest effective dose for the patient.
• The maximum daily dose is determined based on factors such as the patient's body weight (see below).
• The doctor will decide on the maximum daily dose for the patient.
• The daily dose is 1 mg per kilogram of body weight, up to a maximum of 80 mg of methylphenidate per day.

Tasks to be performed by the doctor before and during treatment of the patient (adult or child)

The doctor will perform certain tests

• before starting treatment - to ensure that Medikinet CR is safe and suitable for the patient.
• after starting treatment - at least every 6 months, but possibly much more often. These tests will also be performed when the dose of the medicine is changed.
• during the test, the doctor will:
• ask about the patient's appetite;
• measure the child's height and weight;
• weigh the adult patient;
• measure the patient's blood pressure and heart rate;
• ask about the patient's mood, mental state, or other unusual feelings and find out if these problems have worsened during treatment with Medikinet CR.

Method of administration

This medicine is for oral use only.
Children take Medikinet CR in the morning, during or afterbreakfast.
Adults take Medikinet CR during or afterbreakfast andafter the mid-day meal (lunch).
Medikinet CR is a "controlled-release" form of methylphenidate, which means that the medicine is released into the body slowly over a longer period. Taking the capsule during or after meals is very important for achieving this delayed prolonged action.
The capsules can be swallowed whole with water. The capsule can also be opened, and its contents poured into a small amount (a tablespoon) of applesauce or yogurt and taken immediately. The medicine poured from the capsule should not be stored for later use.
The capsules or their contents should not be crushed or chewed.

If the patient's condition does not improve after 1 month of treatment

If the patient's condition does not improve after 1 month of treatment, they should inform their doctor. The doctor may decide to change the treatment.

Long-term treatment

There is no need to take Medikinet CR indefinitely. If the patient has been taking Medikinet CR for more than a year, the doctor should interrupt treatment at least once a year. In the case of children, it is advisable to plan such a break in treatment during school vacations. This will allow assessment of whether continued treatment with the medicine is necessary.

Incorrect use of Medikinet CR

Incorrect use of Medikinet CR can lead to abnormal behavior. It can also cause dependence on the medicine. If the patient has ever abused or been dependent on alcohol, prescription drugs, or narcotics, they should inform their doctor. This medicine is intended only for the person it has been prescribed for. It should not be given to others, even if their symptoms are similar.

Taking a higher dose of Medikinet CR than recommended

If the patient takes too much of the medicine, they should immediately contact their doctor or call emergency services. They should say how much medicine was taken. Treatment may need to be initiated.
Overdose symptoms may include: vomiting, feeling agitated, trembling, increased involuntary movements, muscle twitching, seizures (which may be followed by coma), feeling extremely happy, disorientation, seeing, feeling, or hearing things that do not exist (hallucinations), sweating, flushing, headache, high fever, changes in heart rate (slow, fast, irregular), high blood pressure, dilated pupils, dryness of the mouth and throat, muscle contractions, fever, and reddish-brown urine, which may be a sign of abnormal muscle breakdown (rhabdomyolysis).

Missing a dose of Medikinet CR

The patient should not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose. If a dose is missed, the next dose should be taken at the usual time.

Stopping treatment with Medikinet CR

Suddenly stopping treatment with this medicine may lead to a recurrence of ADHD symptoms or the appearance of unexpected symptoms, such as depression. Before completely stopping the medicine, the doctor will gradually reduce the daily dose. Before stopping treatment with Medikinet CR, the patient should consult their doctor.
If the patient has any further doubts about taking this medicine, they should consult their doctor or pharmacist.
