    Summary TheDrug.Wiki Erowid TripSit PsychonautWiki

    Ethylphenidate (also known as EPH) is a novel stimulant substance of the phenidate class that produces traditional stimulant effects when administered. It is a closely related analog of methylphenidate (brand names Ritalin, Concerta). The two substances have very similar pharmacological mechanisms but discernible differences in their subjective effects with ethylphenidate often considered to be recreational.
