Abstract
Methylphenidate (MPH) is a prescription-stimulant medication which is authorized in France for two indications: attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in children (aged≥6years) and narcolepsy in cases where modafinil is ineffective (for children and adults). MPH use has increased worldwide in the past 2 decades in children and adults. Different pharmacoepidemiological Europeans studies have described MPH patterns of use. To our knowledge, few pharmacoepidemiological studies have described MPH patterns of use in France.
