Medication Information

In cases of ADHD, medication management is often effective, but it should never be the sole treatment. A multimodal approach is recommended, combining medication with other treatments such as behavioural strategies. First-line medications for ADHD typically include stimulants, though non-stimulant options are also available. For those on medication, monitoring effectiveness and side effects is important, especially when switching between brand-name and generic versions. Patients and healthcare providers are encouraged to report any adverse reactions. Understanding the nuances of medication options is essential for optimal treatment outcomes.
