Ritalin 10mg is a stimulant medication commonly prescribed to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. It works by increasing the levels of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain, which improves attention, focus, and cognitive function. For individuals with ADHD, Ritalin can significantly reduce impulsivity and hyperactivity, making it easier to complete tasks and stay focused. Additionally, it is used by those with narcolepsy to combat excessive daytime sleepiness. While Ritalin is generally safe when used as prescribed, misuse can lead to dependency, abuse, and significant cardiovascular issues. Common side effects include insomnia, decreased appetite, and anxiety. Ritalin should only be used under medical supervision.
