Hello,
Focalin does contain the active ingredient dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride used as mild stimulant to the nervous system.
Do not get afraid about colors inside the capsule. They are chemicals other components of the tablet other than the main ingredient.
They help in digestion and absorption in our body, making it easier for the main ingredient for maximum efficiency.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
