Introdução. O transtorno do déficit de atenção e hiperatividade (TDAH) é considerado um transtorno do neurodesenvolvimento, caracterizado por certos comportamentos ou sintomas relacionados a atenção, a impulsividade e a hiperatividade. Os tratamentos do TDAH abrangem um procedimento múltiplo, incluindo intervenções não farmacológicas com abordagens psicoeducacionais e intervenções farmacológicas como o uso do metilfenidato, comumente o mais utilizado no Brasil. Objetivo. Revisar os riscos e benefícios do uso do metilfenidato como tratamento de curto e longo prazo em crianças e adolescentes com TDAH. Método. Elencaram-se por meio de busca bibliográfica 246 estudos, dos quais, após análise dos títulos e resumos 53 estudos foram selecionados. Resultados. O estudo abrangeu as características clínicas dos pacientes com TDAH e seus efeitos sobre o uso do metilfenidato. A literatura mostra que o metilfenidato pode ser benéfico em relação a hiperatividade e a falta de concentração a espaço escolar e social, bem como em outros fatores, porém, estudos mostram que existem muitos efeitos adversos associados a ele, como perda de apetite, insônia, cefaleia e sintomas gastrointestinais, incluído psicose e problemas cardiovasculares, que podem surgir a longo prazo através de um uso contínuo, prolongado e recorrente, riscos estes que não podem ser ignorados tendo em vista o grande uso deste medicamento por crianças e adolescentes no Brasil. Conclusão. Conclui-se através desta revisão, que se faz necessário mais pesquisas sobre os efeitos adversos do metilfenidato em crianças e adolescentes com TDAH, a fim de evidenciar de modo mais claro as alterações que este medicamento causa no indivíduo.
