Adderall XR

ADDERALL XR is a once daily extended-release, single-entity amphetamine product.

ADDERALL XR combines the neutral sulfate salts of dextroamphetamine and
amphetamine, with the dextro isomer of amphetamine saccharate and d,l-amphetamine
aspartate monohydrate. The ADDERALL XR ® capsule contains two types of
drug-containing beads designed to give a double-pulsed delivery of amphetamines,
which prolongs the release of amphetamine from ADDERALL XR® compared
to the conventional ADDERALL® (immediate-release) tablet formulation.

Adderall (mixed salts of a single-entity amphetamine product) typically improves attention span, increases the ability to follow directions, and decreases distractibility among children ages three and older. Adderall may also decrease impulsivity, stubbornness and aggression. Adderall is convenient for patients, parents, and caregivers, because it is effective for most patients when taken once or twice a day. Since it is a different mixture of amphetamine isomers, Adderall may help some individuals when other medications (such as Ritalin) have not proven effective. Adderall has helped lot of my patients over the past few years.
