这篇文章回顾了关于长期治疗儿童多动行为综合症的兴奋剂药物可能抑制生长作用的文献。证据清楚地表明，体重增长速度暂时迟缓，身高增长暂时减慢，但对成年后的身高或体重没有影响。这种对生长的暂时影响出现在治疗的头几年，似乎与药物剂量和药物假期的存在或不存在有关。这些结论特别与青春期前的治疗有关；很少知道的生长相关的影响的治疗延长到短毛期。
This article reviews the literature on possible growth-suppressing effects of stimulant medications in the long-term treatment of children with the hyperkinetic behavior syndrome. The evidence clearly indicates a temporary retardation in the rate of growth in weight and suggests a temporary slowing of growth in stature, but no effect on adult stature or weight. This temporary effect on growth is present during the first few years of treatment and seems related to drug dosage and to the presence or absence of drug holidays. These conclusions related specifically to treatment during the prepubertal period; little is known of the growth-related effects of treatment extending through pubescence.
