The amount of Ritalin was 2.5 ml in 1[st] group, 5 ml in group 2, 10 ml group 3, every other day for 30 days. After the due date of the invoice for blood samples, were tested
Results: There was a significant difference in albumin levels in experimental groups compared to the control group and there was a significant decrease in the amount of liver transaminases; the experimental group compared to the control group
Conclusion: This study shows that Ritalin causes liver enzymes disrupt the balance and serum albumin levels were increased
