Through clinical case examples and pharmacologic comparisons, learners will explore how tailoring treatment using immediate-release (IR), extended-release (ER), and delayed-release/extended-release (DR/ER) methylphenidate (MPH) formulations can optimize symptom control aligned with patients’ daily routines and responsibilities. In this podcast/webcast activity, Joel Young, MD, and Jo Hughes, DMSc, PA-C, CAQ-PSY will highlight practical strategies for implementing personalized ADHD treatment plans, with a focus on the unique benefits of evening-dosed DR/ER-MPH in addressing early-morning and evening functional impairments. This podcast was recorded and is being used with permission of the presenters. Learning Objectives Evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles of ER-, DR/ER-, and IR-MPH formulations to implement safe, effective, and personalized ADHD treatment decisions. Discuss individualization of ADHD treatment plans by selecting MPH formulations based on PK profiles, patient characteristics, and functional goals to optimize symptom control and adherence.
