A study says that children who take medication to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) do not appear to be at increased stroke risk.
A study presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2014 says that children who take medication to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) do not appear to be at increased stroke risk. In a study of 2.5 million 2- to 19-year-olds over a 14-year period, researchers compared stimulant medication usage in children diagnosed with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke to stimulant usage in children without stroke. Researchers found no association between stroke risk and the use of ADHD stimulant medications at the time of stroke or at any time prior to stroke.
