Who manufactures dexmethylphenidate?
Dexmethylphenidate (the active ingredient in branded and generic versions of Focalin and related products) is made by multiple drug manufacturers, typically through generic supply chains as well as the original branded supplier.
Because “dexmethylphenidate manufacturer” can mean different things (brand-name producer vs. specific generic company for a given strength/extended-release vs. immediate-release), the most reliable way to identify the manufacturer for the exact product you mean is to check:
- the package label (manufacturer name on the bottle/box), and
- the product’s specific listing in drug databases.
How to find the exact manufacturer for your dexmethylphenidate product
Dexmethylphenidate products come in different formulations (for example, immediate-release vs. extended-release) and different strengths. The manufacturer can change by product.
To find the manufacturer quickly, look up your product by:
- name (e.g., dexmethylphenidate),
- dosage form (IR or ER),
- strength (e.g., 5 mg, 10 mg, etc.),
- and the NDC number printed on your prescription label or bottle.
If you share the exact product name (IR/ER), strength, and NDC, I can help narrow down which company is listed as the manufacturer for that specific item.
