Medical Description
Inspiral is used for the management of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Inspiral contains methylphenidate as an active ingredient. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder often begins in childhood and can continue into adulthood. It is characterised by low self-esteem, difficulty with relationships and learning problems at school or work, restlessness, and lack of concentration.
Prior to initiating therapy, the doctor will carry out an extensive evaluation. It is important to provide accurate and maximum information as much as possible. This will help the doctor decide if Inspiral is the right medication for you as some problems could be worsened by using therapy with Inspiral if not correctly diagnosed.
After about a month of undergoing therapy with Inspiral, if you do not feel better then discuss this with your doctor. Dose changes including changing treatment may be needed. Inspiral does not need to be taken forever. A short break from the treatment will show if further treatment is required.
Improper use of the medication could cause dependence issues. Sudden discontinuation of the medicine can cause a return of symptoms or cause unwanted side effects such as depression. A gradual tapering of the dose is recommended before stopping it to prevent this....
