Medication

Are there any OTC meds that has any of the same ingredients that is found in methylphenidate? I want to make sure that I don tgive my son too much of it. He is 9 yrs old.

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.
