Can a person, who has ADHD and is on Concerta, pass a UKOOA medical?

Certain conditions (if adequately controlled by oral medication) may not necessarily preclude the issuing of a medical certificate. In such cases, there is normally a supporting letter, provided by a specialist in the condition to the examining doctor, documenting how stable the condition is under the medication regime. I'm not a physician, so cannot advise on your case. You should contact one of the medical services providers directly to discuss whether ADHD falls into that category. Regards, Ross

All depends on the medication, to put it simply if it dopes you up I would doubt if any company would want medication such as this offshore, on the other hand I have known plenty of people offshore who have had problems with depression in the past and need to take antidepressants.
But like Ross I am not a doctor so I could not say for sure, the only way to find out would be to contact a doctor who does ukooa medicals. Below is a link to the ukooa website and it has a search facility so you can locate your nearest doctor, just give one a phone and they should be able to tell you directly if you would be able to.
