Pediatrician 's  Response
Various studies suggest that ADHD medications does not affect the response of Growth Hormone therapy in ADHD children concurrently treated for growth hormone deficiency.
The dose adjustment might have done because of charge in weight or natural aggregation or remission of complaints.
