methylphenidate and Alcohol Drinking

methylphenidate has been researched along with Alcohol Drinking in 12 studies

Methylphenidate: A central nervous system stimulant used most commonly in the treatment of ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER in children and for NARCOLEPSY. Its mechanisms appear to be similar to those of DEXTROAMPHETAMINE. The d-isomer of this drug is referred to as DEXMETHYLPHENIDATE HYDROCHLORIDE.
methylphenidate : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of the two threo isomers of methyl phenyl(piperidin-2-yl)acetate. A central stimulant and indirect-acting sympathomimetic, is used (generally as the hydrochloride salt) in the treatment of hyperactivity disorders in children and for the treatment of narcolepsy.
methyl phenyl(piperidin-2-yl)acetate : A amino acid ester that is methyl phenylacetate in which one of the hydrogens alpha to the carbonyl group is replaced by a piperidin-2-yl group.

Alcohol Drinking: Behaviors associated with the ingesting of ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, including social drinking.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Methylphenidate (MPH) is a stimulant prescribed to treat attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder."1.40Chronic methylphenidate treatment during early life is associated with greater ethanol intake in socially isolated rats. ( Beveridge, TJ; Chappell, AM; Gill, KE; Porrino, LJ; Weiner, JL, 2014)
"Treatment with methylphenidate at an early age (P21 to P35) did not alter ethanol consumption in adult SHR or WKY, suggesting that it does not increase susceptibility to ethanol addiction in these rats."1.35Methylphenidate does not increase ethanol consumption in a rat model for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder-the spontaneously hypertensive rat. ( Howells, FM; Russell, VA; Soeters, HS, 2008)
"Ethylphenidate was recently reported as a novel drug metabolite in two overdose fatalities where there was evidence of methylphenidate and ethanol coingestion."1.31Ethylphenidate formation in human subjects after the administration of a single dose of methylphenidate and ethanol. ( Boulton, DW; DeVane, CL; Diamond, F; Markowitz, JS; Nahas, Z; Patrick, KS; Risch, SC, 2000)
