Mechanism of action of Tradea Methylphenidate

Tradea Methylphenidate hydrochloride stimulates the nervous system similar to amphetamine and its derivatives. Tradea LP is an effective inhibitor of norepinephrine hormone reuptake. The substance affects subcortical structures and the cortex of the large hemispheres. Blocking dopamine transport leads to the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system, which causes a mild sedative effect. Against the background of admission, the concentration of attention increases, sleep normalizes and anxiety is relieved.
