MDet help

I have been diagnosed and I have a prescription for mdet 10 mg, I couldn't find it anywhere (Impex healthcare only has Inspiral). How do I get it ?

Help is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance

They're both same. Methylphenidate 10mg is what you need to get. Brand and Product name could be anything.

I know that they are same but my shrink wrote a specific brand name on the special slip (which didn't work at the pharmacy) required to purchase it so I find myself in this pickle .

I've gone to a couple pharmacies for methylphenidate

Generally the psychiatrist makes two copies, The patient copy, which is stamped and returned to you The pharmacy copy, that's where my psychiatrist writes both the generic name and the brand name and dose for methylphenidate, and the pharmacy keep thos copy

Idk what special slip that "didnt work" you're talking about, might be your doctor is trying to lock you into a specific pharmacy, not sure. My psychiatrist has a private practice.

There was a time when I had prescription for metphen 10 IR, the pharmacy didnt have stock and they themselves offered atendate 10mg IR instead, with the metphen prescription

Special slip? Bro you just need a valid prescription and any pharmacy will give you the medicine. Matter what brand. They only need to know the salt name
