Does your child repeatedly reject his or her methylphenidate [Ritalin]?

Section:

Does your child repeatedly refuse to take his or her methylphenidate (Ritalin®)?

If the answer is yes, ask your doctor to help you reevaluate the dose and the timing of each dose your child takes. If dosage and timing adjustments do not make the medicine more acceptable to your child, think about changing to another ADD/ADHD medication.
