FDA approves new ADHD drug

FDA Approves ADHD Drug; Company Says Abuse Less Likely

WASHINGTON (AP) _ A new amphetamine-based drug to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder won federal approval Friday. It's harder to abuse than older stimulants, the manufacturer says.

The Food and Drug Administration approved Vyvanse, also known as lisdexamfetamine, agency spokeswoman Susan Cruzan said. The drug is made by Shire PLC.

Shire hopes the drug will extend its lucrative ADHD franchise once its top-selling Adderall XR begins facing competition from lower-priced generic versions in 2009. Shire plans to move patients from the older to the newer drug at the time, company spokesman Matt Cabrey said this week.

Shire said it tried to limit the drug's potential for misuse. It tested the drug on adults with a history of abusing stimulants to assess its ``likeability.'' Results suggest the drug delays the onset and limits the intensity of amphetamine-like effects, the company said.

Vyvanse works by gradually releasing its active ingredient, d-amphetamine, after the drug has been swallowed and comes into contact with enzymes in the digestive tract.

Unless it's swallowed, Vyvanse remains inactive. Shire believes that will curtail its potential for abuse by users who snort or inject crushed pills.

Despite those measures, the Drug Enforcement Administration has proposed making Vyvanse a Schedule II drug, a class that includes cocaine, methadone, methamphetamine and other drugs with a high potential for abuse.

Other ADHD medicines, including Adderall and Ritalin, also are Schedule II drugs.

Vyvanse's label will bear a ``black-box'' warning, the government's strongest, Cruzan said. Details were not immediately available.

The label of Adderall XR bears a warning because of safety concerns related to amphetamine abuse as well as the risk of sudden death in patients with heart defects.

FDA approval of Vyvanse came the same week that the agency asked all manufacturers of ADHD drugs to warn patients and their parents of mental and heart problems associated with use of the medicines.

Britain's Shire said earlier this month it would spend roughly $2.6 billion to buy New River Pharmaceuticals Inc., the Radford, Va., company that originally developed Vyvanse.

Nice, sounds like something that'd be great if you chewed it up a little

When you snort a pill it goes through your nasal passages into your throat and stomach (thats why u get a drip). making it inactive until it hits the stomach doesn't really accomplish much, you can chew or snort this. Probably better off chewing but Im sure if there is a coating you can take it off. Things like oxycontin are the same way, its potential for abuse is lessened because they put a coating on it that stops you from snorting it, but fortunately you can stick it under your tongue for a minutes or so and presto no more coating.

What about that new amphetamine patch they have? That's probably pretty hard to abuse...

I bet it still kicks ass. If you don't mind swallowing you're speed that is. After all not every abuser is after that initial rush amphetamines provide.
I love my 15mg Dexedrine spansules and I'll happily gobble them without defeating any time release mechanisms.
Besides, have a look at the below quote. *Makes a point of looking around for some Vyvanse caps or hitting the doc up for some*

Quote:

A 25 mg strength Vyvanse capsule is molecularly equivalent to 10 mg Dexedrine Spansules (both the aforementioned pharmaceuticals are about 7.425 mg dextroamphetamine). However, this molecular equivalence is not a bioequivalence ratio; as it turns out, the AUC for the aforementioned pharmaceuticals is equivalent, however, the peak exposure of dextroamphetamine in Vyvanse is about 50% higher than Dexedrine Spansules.

A friend of mine who's prescribed Adderall XR was given a brochure with a coupon last time he went to the doc for a month (30 pills) worth of "Vyvanse" at the fantastic price of free 99! Going to have to check it out!!  :rockon:
