The ADHD Medication Guide© is a visual aid for professionals caring for individuals with ADHD. The guide provides dosing information and images of medications indicated for the treatment of ADHD by the FDA. In clinical practice, this guide may be used to assist patients in identifying medications previously tried and may allow clinicians to identify ADHD medication options for the future.
The Stimulant Medication Guide© is a visual aid for
professionals caring for individuals with ADHD. The
Guide shows short-acting and long-acting stimulant medications indicated for the treatment of ADHD organized by method of administration (liquids, sprinkles, etc.). It may help identify medication alternatives for patients if there are issues with cost, availability, or clinical response.
Developed by YAP-P consultant, Dr. Khetpal, this guide’s intended purpose is for antidepressant dosing guidance. The guide shows medication (fluoxetine, sertraline, escitalopram, duloxetine, bupropion, & mirtazapine), method of administration, target dose, maximum dose, FDA indications, and tips.
