FDA Remains Ambiguous On Adderall

The federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) just can't seem to make up its mind about one of the most controversial drugs on the market: Adderall, a powerful stimulant used for the treatment of attention-deficit disorder with hyperactivity (ADHD). Though the drug, which is distributed by Shire Pharmaceuticals, Inc., was briefly banned in Canada after allegations of adverse cardiac side effects, the FDA has yet to issue any kind of public warning on the drug, despite an 8 to 7 vote on the part of FDA safety officials who felt a "black box" warning was necessary. The FDA did not follow suit, citing over 35 million successful prescriptions over five years. read more

The drug was approved for the treatment of children in 1996 and for adult treatment in 2004. However, Adderall is growing in popularity as a "study drug" and as an appetite suppressant in users who wish to lose weight. read more
