Will my ADHD medication be the same in the UK as Australia?

Not necessarily, the names for your ADHD medication may vary from Australia to the UK. The make up of the medication will be similar so it’s important to register with your GP to make sure you can get the correct medication for you.

There are 5 types of medicine licensed for the treatment of ADHD in the UK:

– methylphenidate.
– lisdexamfetamine.
– dexamfetamine.
– atomoxetine.
– guanfacine.

If you take these ADHD medications in Australia make sure to discuss with your GP:

Ritalin LA (Methylphenidate)

Concerta (Methylphenidate)

Dexamphetamine

Vyvanse (Lisdexamfetamine)
