Abstract

This practice parameter describes treatment with stimulant medication. It uses an evidence-based medicine approach derived from a detailed literature review and expert consultation. Stimulant medications in clinical use include methylphenidate, dextroamphetamine, mixed salts of amphetamine, and pemoline. They carry U.S. Food and Drug Administration indications for the treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.
