If the Concerta is the equivalent to 8mg x3 daily, then that would make the 27mg the corresponding dose, as 8×3=24. But the doctor did say that while the 27mg is probably the most suitable dose for my son, given the success of the 10mg 3x/day, if he has a growth spurt then he may need to move up to the 36mg dose. So maybe the 10mg 3x daily could correspond to either the 27mg or the 36mg Concerta depending on other factors such as the person’s weight, and their severity of symptoms. I don’t know what the corresponding Ritalin 10mg dose would be for the 36mg Concerta if it’s not 10mg three times a day.
