1) Though they are generally safe at prescribed doses, ADHD pills (usually stimulant medications - Ritalin, Concerta, Vyvanse, Adderall, Dexedrine, etc.) can have bad side effects, and they can interact with other medications.
2) They can be dangerous for people with undiagnosed heart conditions, certain psychiatric problems, high blood pressure, glaucoma, or other conditions.
3) Stimulants are generally Class II Controlled Substances (in the United States), and it is illegal to sell them or dispense them to someone without a prescription.
4) If your friend needs help focusing, suggest that s/he speak with parents, a school guidance counselor, or a doctor about the problems s/he is having. There can be many other things that can cause concentration problems besides ADHD, including medical conditions, poor working environment, stress, lack of sleep, etc. Your friend needs to find out and deal with whatever problems s/he may have, whether ADHD or otherwise.
