* This survey was conducted online in the United States by Harris Interactive on behalf of McNeil Pediatrics™, Division of Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., between
May 21 and June 2, 2008, among 150 adults who had a child aged 6–17 who had been diagnosed with ADHD and was taking CONCER TA® for more than 3 months at that time.
CONCERTA® is approved for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as part of a total treatment program that may include counseling or other therapies.
IMPOR TANT SAFET Y INFORMATION. Talk to your healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment of ADHD. Only a healthcare professional can decide whether medication
is right for you or your child. CONCERTA® should not be taken by patients who have: allergies to methylphenidate or other ingredients in CONCERTA®; significant anxiety, tension, or agitation;
glaucoma; tics, Tourette’s syndrome, or family history of Tourette’s syndrome; current or past use of monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI); esophagus, stomach, or intestinal narrowing. Children
under 6 years of age should not take CONCERTA®. Abuse of methylphenidate may lead to dependence. Tell your healthcare professional if you or your child has had problems with alcohol or
drugs; has had any heart problems, heart defects, high blood pressure, or a family history of these problems; has had depression, abnormal thoughts or visions, bipolar disorder, or seizure.
Contact your healthcare professional immediately if you or your child: develops abnormal thinking or hallucinations, abnormal or extreme moods and/or excessive activity; or if aggressive
behavior or hostility develops or worsens while taking CONCERTA®. Stimulants may impair the ability of the patient to operate potentially hazardous machinery or vehicles. Caution should be
used accordingly until you are reasonably certain that CONCERTA® does not adversely affect your ability to engage in such activities. The most common adverse reaction (>5%) reported in
children and adolescents was upper abdominal pain. The most common adverse reactions (>10%) reported in adults were dry mouth, nausea, decreased appetite, headache, and insomnia.
