The female side of pharmacotherapy for ADHD—A systematic literature review

Key Points

Key points are not available for this paper at this time.

Abstract

Several sex-differences are demonstrated in the prescription, usage and efficacy /effectiveness of both stimulant and non-stimulant ADHD pharmacotherapy. A single daily use of MPH may possibly not be optimal for girls with ADHD and ATX may be a promising medication for girls and women with ADHD. The robustness of this result requires further investigation.
