What Is The Difference Between Metadate And Methylin Oral Suspension?
My 10 year old grandson has just been prescribed Metadate 10 mg for recently diagnosed ADHD. He does not tolerate swallowing medications but will take oral medications. Is the basic difference between Metadate and Methylin Oral Suspension the dosing? I understand Methylin has to be taken twice daily - before breakfast and lunch whereas Metadate as extended release and needs to only be taken once daily
