The use of methylphenidate with alcohol or caffeine may increase the risk of side effects and reduce the effectiveness of the drug. Caffeine, especially in high doses, agitation and nervousness, and alcohol may increase the risk of side effects associated with methylphenidate, such as overstimulation, headaches, sleep disorders, nausea and others. It is important to avoid alcohol and caffeine consumption while taking methylphenidate. You should also consult your doctor before using other medicines, supplements or caffeinated beverages to avoid drug interactions. In addition, please follow the dosage recommendations and avoid using higher doses than recommended by your doctor, as this may increase the risk of side effects.
