Methylphenidate vs dextroamphetamine for ADHD in children — key difference is body weight

Australian researchers tracked children with ADHD over one year, randomly assigning them to either methylphenidate or dextroamphetamine. Both drugs effectively reduced ADHD symptoms, but the primary difference observed between the two medications was their effect on body weight. The findings could help clinicians choose the most appropriate treatment for individual patients.
