Taking Quillivant XR with food

You may take Quillivant XR with or without food.

Quillivant XR is prescribed to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults and certain children. (For details, see the “Quillivant XR for ADHD” section above.)

Quillivant XR contains the active ingredient methylphenidate. This drug is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant. CNS stimulants such as Quillivant XR increase the levels of chemicals in your brain called dopamine and norepinephrine. It’s thought that increased levels of these brain chemicals help manage ADHD symptoms.

How long does it take to work?

Quillivant XR typically begins working to manage your ADHD symptoms within 4 hours of taking a dose. In the drug’s clinical trials, some people reported reduced ADHD symptoms in as little as 1 hour after taking a dose.

Your doctor can tell you more about how soon Quillivant XR may work for you.

It isn’t fully known whether it’s safe to take Quillivant XR during pregnancy.

There’s not enough information to know for sure whether Quillivant XR is safe to take during pregnancy. That’s because there have been only a small number of clinical trials looking at methylphenidate’s effects on pregnant people. (Methylphenidate is the active drug in Quillivant XR.)

If you and your doctor agree that you’ll take Quillivant XR while pregnant, consider joining a drug registry. The pregnancy registry for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medications helps collect information on the safety of taking drugs such as Quillivant XR during pregnancy. You can learn more or sign up by calling 866-961-2388 or by visiting the registry website.

If you have questions about Quillivant XR and pregnancy, talk with your doctor.

It isn’t known whether it’s safe to breastfeed while taking Quillivant XR.

Methylphenidate, the active drug in Quillivant XR, is known to pass into breast milk. So it’s possible for a child who is breastfed to experience side effects from the drug. Examples include:

  • sleep problems
  • decreased appetite
  • increased fussiness

These side effects appear to be rare. However, the long-term effects of Quillivant XR on a child who is breastfed aren’t known.

If you’re breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed, talk with your doctor before starting Quillivant XR treatment. They can help determine whether the drug is right for you. Your doctor can also suggest ways to feed your child.

If you and your doctor agree that you’ll breastfeed while taking Quillivant XR, they’ll advise you on next steps.

As with other stimulant medications, Quillivant XR has a high risk of misuse and dependence. With misuse, a medication is taken in a way other than how it’s prescribed. With dependence, your body needs a drug in your system in order to feel and function as usual.

Side effects of Quillivant XR misuse

Quillivant XR misuse can cause serious side effects, including:

Quillivant XR misuse can also cause sudden cardiac death (a condition that occurs when the heart suddenly stops beating). Due to these risks, Quillivant XR is a controlled substance. This means there are special rules and regulations in place that direct how doctors and pharmacists prescribe and dispense Quillivant XR.

For example, doctors cannot write a prescription for Quillivant XR that can be refilled. If you take the drug long term, your doctor will write a new prescription for each refill.

Because Quillivant XR is a controlled substance, there are also strict laws against giving your medication to anyone else. Be sure to store Quillivant XR in a secure, safe place where other people can’t easily access or find it.

Suicide prevention

If you know someone at immediate risk of self-harm, suicide, or hurting another person:

  • Ask the tough question: “Are you considering suicide?”

  • Call 911 or the local emergency number, or text TALK to 741741 to communicate with a trained crisis counselor.
  • Stay with the person until professional help arrives.
  • Try to remove any weapons, medications, or other potentially harmful objects.

If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, a prevention hotline can help. The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is available 24 hours a day at 988. During a crisis, people who are hard of hearing can use their preferred relay service or dial 711 then 988.

Withdrawal from Quillivant XR

Withdrawal symptoms can happen if you suddenly stop taking Quillivant XR after your body has become dependent on it.

Examples of withdrawal symptoms include:

If you’re interested in stopping Quillivant XR treatment, talk with your doctor first. If they tell you it’s safe to stop taking the drug, they may lower your dosage slowly over time. This will help reduce the risk of withdrawal symptoms.

Before Quillivant XR is prescribed

Before prescribing Quillivant XR, your doctor will ask if you currently have or have ever experienced drug or alcohol misuse or dependence. This is because these conditions can increase the risk of dependence on Quillivant XR.

They may want you to complete a urine drug test before or during treatment. And they’ll monitor you for symptoms of drug misuse or dependence while you’re taking Quillivant XR.

When you get Quillivant XR from the pharmacy, the pharmacist will add an expiration date to the label on the packaging. This date is typically 1 year from the date they dispensed the medication.

The expiration date indicates how long the medication remains effective. The current stance of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is to avoid taking expired medications. If you have unused medication that has gone past the expiration date, ask your pharmacist how to correctly dispose of it.

Storage

How long a medication remains effective can depend on many factors, including how and where you store the medication.

Quillivant XR should be stored at a room temperature of 77°F (25°C) in the tightly sealed original container. If needed, you can keep the drug at 59ºF to 86ºF (15ºC to 30ºC) for brief periods, such as when traveling. Avoid storing this medication in areas where it could get damp or wet, such as bathrooms.

Disposal

If you no longer need to take Quillivant XR and have leftover medication, it’s important to dispose of it safely. This helps prevent others, including children and pets, from taking the drug by accident. It also helps keep the drug from harming the environment.

This article provides several useful tips on medication disposal. You can also ask your pharmacist for information about how to dispose of your medication.
