title: [Medical treatments of hyperactive child: about the new pharmaceutical forms of methylphenidate marketed in France].
abstract: Multimodal treatment of hyperactive child includes psychostimulant medication, methylphenidate (MPH) marketed in France in its short-acting form since about ten years. We report our clinical experience about the first fifty methylphenidate responders who received one of the two sustained-release forms available since summer 2004, tablets of oros-methyphenidate (Concerta LP) or microgranule-filled capsules (Ritaline LP).
