This line of once-daily strengths has been specifically designed to support targeted titration to help achieve the lowest effective dose and to help mitigate the need for multiple daily pills.

Relexxii once-daily dosing is made possible by Alora Pharmaceutical's Osmodex® Drug Delivery Technology, which allows the medication to be released at a controlled rate throughout the day. With the immediate-release drug layer dissolving within one hour of administration, patients get the medicine they need quickly — and for up to 24 hours — with each daily dose.
In a study of 60 healthy volunteers, once-daily dosing of Relexxii 72-mg demonstrated bioequivalence to twice daily dosing of Concerta® (methylphenidate HCI) 36-mg tablets.2

With Relexxii, we can offer the consistency of a branded treatment for individuals affected by ADHD.
