A 6-Month, Open-Label, Extension Study of the Tolerability and Effectiveness of the Methylphenidate Transdermal System in Adolescents Diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Abstract

Slightly more than half (54.0%) of subjects completed this 6-month, open-label extension study of MTS; the primary reason for discontinuation was withdrawn consent (36.0%). Reported TEAEs and skin tolerability findings were similar to those observed with MTS use in children and adolescents. MTS treatment resulted in a decrease in ADHD symptoms as rated by clinicians.
