LAS VEGAS, Nov. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- New findings presented today show that CONCERTA® (OROS® methylphenidate HCl Extended-Release Tablets CII) is the only stimulant medication with data that demonstrate a significant treatment effect on attention at one hour and through 12.5 hours in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
