Hi, My son is 14 years old and he takes 54 mg of concerta every morning. By mistake this morning he took 2. For the moment, no side effects, everything is fine. Thank you

Good morning, ma'am,

Unfortunately this platform is not adequate to manage this type of situation. I strongly recommend that you contact your pharmacist who will be able to adequately evaluate and ensure a close follow-up,

Or the Poison Control Center at 1-800-463-5060.

I'm sorry I can't be more helpful at this time
