Abstract
Background and issues
The management of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) relies on non-medicinal measures as first-line treatment, and when these are insufficient, on medication. In France, methylphenidate is recommended as a first-line treatment, but its prescription requires particular attention.
Objectives
This article explores the pharmacological aspects of methylphenidate and other drug strategies available in France for optimal management of ADHD.
Materials and methods
A narrative review of the scientific literature was carried out by consulting PubMed and Google Scholar, in addition to the latest recommendations issued by the Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS) and the Agence Nationale de Sécurité du Médicament (ANSM). Inclusion criteria included articles in French and English, published between 2000 and 2023, on the efficacy and safety of methylphenidate and other drugs used in the treatment of ADHD and its comorbidities.
Results
Methylphenidate is a psychostimulant drug that acts by inhibiting the reuptake of dopamine and noradrenaline, and its prescription is governed by narcotics regulations. The extension of indications to adults and the variety of formulations offers several options for improving efficacy and minimizing side effects. Methylphenidate requires careful evaluation and monitoring of its efficacy and safety. Some psychostimulant and non-psychostimulant alternatives exist to enrich the therapeutic arsenal for patients whose benefit/risk balance is against methylphenidate, but remain few in number.
Discussion and conclusions
Pharmacological management implies the need for a personalized approach to increase benefits, while reducing potential adverse effects. The prospect of marketing authorization in France for new drugs such as lisdexamfetamine and atomoxetine could broaden the available therapeutic arsenal and improve personalized management of ADHD.
