How our once-daily tablet works

Osmodex® Drug Delivery Technology

Once-daily RELEXXII uses osmotic pressure to steadily release methylphenidate hydrochloride. The immediate-release drug layer dissolves within an hour for quick relief, while the extended-release drug layer provides continuous medication throughout the day.1,2
