Cotempla XR ODT: Same active ingredients as Ritalin LA & Concerta. ADHD shortage option Philadelphia

Cotempla XR ODT has the same active ingredients as Ritalin LA and Concerta (D and L Methylphenidate). Thus, if a patient does well with their ADHD symptom control, and has minimal side effects with Ritalin LA or Concerta, they'll likely do well, and have minimal side effects with Cotempla XR ODT. This is especially important if a patient cannot consistently fill Ritalin LA or Concerta due to the ADHD stimulant medication shortage. Cotempla is readily available at a great deal of specialty pharmacies in Philadelphia and throughout the country.

When you have ADHD, being consistent with your treatment is incredibly important. If a medication works well for you, but if you can only fill it half the time, your symptoms will not be well-managed.

Providers should take the extra step, to understand the pharmacodynamics of these medications, the active ingredients, the options within these classes, the specialty pharmacies that stock them, and the promotions that are available to patients. This will result in better patient care.
