Methylphenidate is a central nervous system stimulant that primarily works by inhibiting the reuptake of dopamine and norepinephrine. It is therapeutically used mainly for the treatment of ADHD and narcolepsy. The substance increases the concentration of these neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft, leading to increased alertness and attention. Side effects may include cardiovascular strain and potential for dependence.
