Methylphenidate (Ritalin)

Make a chemical structure model of ADHD stimulant drug Methylphenidate (Ritalin) out of Authentic Molymod Model Parts by Indigo

Methylphenidate, better known as Ritalin, is a medication that is overprescribed in children, particularly boys, to suppress natural behaviour that has been labelled "ADHD" or attention deficit disorder. This so-called disorder manifests itself primarily in societies where physical activity is suppressed & is rarely found in countries where physical fitness is actively promoted. Throughout the course of human evolution, males spent most of their day chasing prey instead of consuming caffeinated beverages & sugary foods & then sitting around talking about their feelings. No wonder they have "ants in their pants".

A molecular model of Methylphenidate in the Molymod Hybrid Dome style uses the atoms & bonds in the parts list below. Our free 3D Molecular Model Builder shows other styles & allows for image rotation as an assembly guide.
