AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
QUILLICHEW ER is a chewable extended-release tablet formulation of methylphenidate hydrochloride, a CNS stimulant approved by the FDA in December 2015. It treats Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) by blocking the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine into presynaptic neurons, thereby increasing monoamine availability in the extraneuronal space. The chewable formulation addresses dosing flexibility and palatability for patients who may have difficulty swallowing traditional tablets.
