Treating ADHD symptoms with Focalin XR as part of an overall treatment program

You never know what kinds of tasks or activities will require your child's attention throughout his or her busy days. Fortunately, Focalin XR—as part of a treatment program that may include counseling or other therapies—may help improve your child's ADHD symptoms. Focalin XR starts fast—by 30 minutes after taking the medication. And it can last up to 12 hours, helping your child with activities during the day, including school and homework time.

Keep in mind that your health care professional has prescribed Focalin XR as a part of your child's overall treatment program. Your child may do better with the help of a support team. The team should consist of parents, teachers, other family members, doctors, and other health care professionals.
