4.1 Therapeutic indications
Attention­Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Concerta XL is indicated as part of a comprehensive treatment programme for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
(ADHD) in children aged 6 years of age and over when remedial measures alone prove insufficient. Treatment must be
under the supervision of a specialist in childhood behavioural disorders. Diagnosis should be made according to the
current DSM criteria or ICD guidelines and should be based on a complete history and evaluation of the patient.
Diagnosis cannot be made solely on the presence of one or more symptom.
The specific aetiology of this syndrome is unknown, and there is no single diagnostic test. Adequate diagnosis requires
the use of medical and specialised psychological, educational, and social resources.
A comprehensive treatment programme typically includes psychological, educational and social measures as well as
pharmacotherapy and is aimed at stabilising children with a behavioural syndrome characterised by symptoms which
may include chronic history of short attention span, distractibility, emotional lability, impulsivity, moderate to severe
hyperactivity, minor neurological signs and abnormal EEG. Learning
