The Food and Drug Administration issued a public health advisory on its Web site saying that the rate of sudden death for children on Adderall XR is no higher than for those not on the drug. But children with heart defects could be at higher risk.
NEW YORK (AP) - Several analysts raised their estimates and ratings Friday on Shire PLC, which makes the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder drugs Vyvanse and Adderall XR, after the British company reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings. AP
Adderall is now sold in either an immediate-release tablet or an extended-release capsule, marketed as Adderall XR (for "eXtended Release"). Doses for both immediate-release and extended-release form come in 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 100 mg tablets.
Adderall XR capsules can be taken whole, or the contents can be sprinkled on applesauce. The applesauce should be eaten immediately, without chewing. Be sure to use the entire contents of the capsule.

A single morning dose of Adderall XR significantly improves the three main symptoms of ADHD throughout the day. Medication often works best when used along with learning strategies in school and behavior modifications at home and in school.
The FDA awarded Shire Pharmaceuticals approval for Adderall on November 8, 2002. Adderall is used by approximately 700,000 Americans and is one of the most popular drugs for people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Adderall contains amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, which are both stimulants. Shire Pharmaceuticals Group PLC sold $759 million of Adderall XR in the U.S. and roughly $10 million in Canada in 2004.
