AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
QUILLICHEW ER is an extended-release chewable tablet formulation of methylphenidate hydrochloride, a CNS stimulant approved by FDA in December 2015. It is indicated for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and works by blocking the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine into presynaptic neurons, increasing monoamine availability in the extraneuronal space. The chewable formulation addresses a specific patient need—those who have difficulty swallowing standard tablets.
