This is a question that should be answered by the doctor prescribing the methylphenidate. Any concerns or questions you have about a medication should be brought to the attention of the prescribing physician. In this case, the doctor should clearly identify any over-the-counter medication that should be avoided while your son is taking the methylphenidate.
