Timeframe: 48hrs

Population: All enrolled subjects included in analysis population.

To determine the rate and extent of absorption of methylphenidate following a single treatment of HLD200 (B formulation; 54 mg) in children and adolescents with ADHD, plasma samples were collected at t=0, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 36 and 48 hours post-HLD200 treatment and methylphenidate concentrations were determined.
