ABSTRACT
Treatment of hyperactive child is multimodal, a combination of behaviour therapy and medication. Stimulant drugs are the most often prescribed medications. In France, we use methylphenidate (Ritaline); its efficacy was demonstrated with mild side effects. New formulations of methylphenidate with prolonged action, and non-psychostimulant treatment (atomoxetine) are available in some countries, but not yet in France.
