Matoride XL 18 mg prolonged-release tablets is indicated as part of a comprehensive treatment programme for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD in children aged 6 years of age and over when remedial measures alone prove insufficient.

A comprehensive treatment programme typically includes psychological, educational and social measures as well as pharmacotherapy and is aimed at stabilising children with a behavioural syndrome characterised by symptoms which may include chronic history of short attention span, distractibility, emotional lability, impulsivity, moderate to severe hyperactivity, minor neurological signs and abnormal EEG. Learning may or may not be impaired.

Matoride XL 18 mg prolonged-release tablets treatment is not indicated in all children with ADHD and the decision to use the drug must be based on a very thorough assessment of the severity and chronicity of the child's symptoms in relation to the child's age.

Where remedial measures alone prove insufficient, the decision to prescribe a stimulant must be based on rigorous assessment of the severity of the child's symptoms.
