Dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride extended-release capsules contain dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride, a CNS stimulant. Dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride is the d-threo enantiomer of racemic methylphenidate hydrochloride. Dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride extended-release capsules are an extended-release formulation of dexmethylphenidate with a bi-modal release profile. Each dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride extended-release capsule contains a single type multilayered beads having half the dose as immediate-release component and half as enteric-coated, delayed-release component, thus providing an immediate-release of dexmethylphenidate and a second delayed-release of dexmethylphenidate. Dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride extended-release capsules are intended for oral administration and are available as 5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg, 20 mg, 25 mg, 30 mg, 35 mg and 40 mg strengths. Chemically, dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride is (2R, 2’R)-(+)-threo-methyl α-phenyl-2- piperidineacetate hydrochloride. Its structural formula is: C 14 H 19 NO 2 •HCl M.W. 269.77 Note* = asymmetric carbon center Dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride is a white crystalline powder. Its solutions are acid to litmus. It is freely soluble in water and in methanol, soluble in chloroform, sparingly soluble in ethanol, and very slightly soluble in acetone. Inactive ingredients: ammonio methacrylate copolymer, D&C yellow no. 10 aluminum lake, FD&C blue no. 1 aluminum lake, FD&C blue no. 2/indigo carmine aluminum lake, FD&C red no. 40 aluminum lake, gelatin, hypromellose, iron oxide black, methacrylic acid copolymer, non-pareil seeds (which contain corn starch and sucrose), polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, shellac glaze, talc, titanium dioxide, and triethyl citrate. Additionally, 5 mg and 25 mg capsules contain FD&C blue no. 1; 10 mg and 30 mg capsules contain D&C yellow no. 10; 15 mg capsules contain FD&C green no. 3; 35 mg capsules contain D&C yellow no. 10 and FD&C blue no. 1; and 40 mg capsules contain FD&C blue no. 1 and FD&C green no. 3. chemical structure for dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride
