Description

What Rubifen is used for
Rubifen is used to treat a behavioural disorder called attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). About 3% of children suffer from ADHD. It makes them unable to sit still or concentrate on tasks for any length of time. They may have trouble learning and doing schoolwork. They frequently become difficult to manage, both in school and at home. Rubifen is a central nervous system stimulant. It is thought to work by regulating specific chemicals in the brain that affect behaviour. It helps to focus attention, shut out distraction and allows impulsive people to think before they act. If successful, it will enhance an inattentive person’s natural ability.

Rubifen is part of a treatment program that usually includes psychological, educational, and social therapy. Rubifen is also used to treat narcolepsy, a sleep-attack disorder. People with narcolepsy have recurring attacks of irresistible daytime sleepiness in spite of having enough sleep at night. A doctor can diagnose narcolepsy by recording wake-sleep patterns. Narcolepsy is not a normal fatigue state. Rubifen should not be used to prevent or treat normal fatigue. Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why Rubifen has been prescribed for you or your child. Your doctor may have prescribed it for another reason.
This medicine is only available with a doctor’s prescription and your doctor has special permission to prescribe it. There is not enough information to recommend its use in children under 6 years old and elderly over 65 years because it has not been studied in these age groups.
