From what I understand- from personal research-not an expert–(Disclaimer)

All extended release medications are not alike they vary in their delivery of the medication (release mechanism).

Some extended release tablets have an instant release part and an extended release part.

These medications -same strength- can vary with 30 % initial release-70 slow release

or 40% initial release-60% slow release etc.

you get the idea

Some extended release are 100% slow release…

From what I understand -the medication is the same as the the initial Ritalin-The release mechanism varies to not have a copyright infringement suit.

Medical effects also depend on your personal digestive system…That why a medication may last in one person 12 hours in one person and 9 hours in another.

The bottom line-There is no guarantee on any persciption-Its a trial and error to find what works best for you.

Good Luck
