Review of Technology Appraisal 13

This guidance replaces 'Methylphenidate, atomoxetine and dexamfetamine for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children and adolescents' (NICE Technology Appraisal guidance 13) issued in October 2000.

The Institute reviews each piece of guidance it issues. Following review and re-appraisal, the previous recommendations on the use of methylphenidate for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in childhood have been updated and extended. This latest guidance provides recommendations on the use of methylphenidate, atomoxetine and dexamfetamine for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children and adolescents.
