Can Calmalin Substitue Ritalin?

Hi, my son is 7 years old and in Grade 2. He is a very busy boy. Last year his teacher kept on saying I must get him so help. I don t like using Ritalin. Will Calmalin help?? I am also looking at the option of SEMAS which is a maths program and they say it definatly helps with concentration!

Hello,

Calmalin does not substitute Ritalin to treat ADHD. I don't think that it might be helpful to treat the symptoms of your son. You should consult your doctor about an alternative treatment.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
