Methylphenid And Methylphenidate

Updated

I am in college and I have ADD. At the start of the spring semester my Dr. prescribed me the generic form of Ritalin "methylphenid." When I went to go get my last prescription filled they gave me "methylphenidate." Are there any difference between the 2? If so what?

They are the same, both generic for Ritalin. The pharmacy just left off the last 3 letters of the name.

Hello Bobjotoby,

How odd, I don't think I have ever seen a pharmacy cut off just the last 3 letters of a drug but I was unable to find anything on a drug named methylphenid so I would assume that BL is correct in saying that is likely what has happened.

For peace of mind you always have the option to call the pharmacy and confirm if this is the case.

Let us know what you find.
