Abstract :In this report we presented the case of an adolescent male who noticed bloody spots on his underwear after the dose increase during his osmotic-controlled release oral delivery systemmethylphenidate (MPH) treatment. This symptom disappeared when the MPH treatment was discontinued, was not reported with atomoxetine monotherapy, but reoccurred with combination treatment using atomoxetine and increased doses of immediate-release MPH. We discussed the clinical picture and the possible pathophysiological mechanisms for this adverse effect.
