Use of methylphenidate among medical students: a systematic review
Objective
To review the effects of methylphenidate on cognitive enhancement, memory, and performance in medical students.
Methods
Areview of four databases (LILACS, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and SciELO), analyzing the title and abstract of all articles published between 1990 and 2012 in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. Selected articles were read in entirety, including in the review those that met the established criteria.
Results
The prevalence of use among medical students reached 16%, with no gender dif- ference. Most students began using the drug after entering the university, and the reasons cited to justify it are related to enhancing academic performance.
Conclusion
There is no evidence in the literature that the use of methylphenidate is benefi- cial in terms of memory or learning. The drug simply increases wakefulness and alertness, reducing the time of sleep.
