New Titration Dose for Vyvanse Available

Shire announced that Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine dimesylate) is now available in a new 10mg dosage strength.

Vyvanse is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant indicated for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and moderate to severe binge eating disorder. The new 10mg strength is intended as a titration dose for patients with ADHD.

Vyvanse is a prodrug of dextroamphetamine. Amphetamines block the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine in the presynaptic neuron and increase the release of these monoamines in the extraneuronal space.

Vyvanse, a CII controlled substance, is already available in 20mg, 30mg, 40mg, 50mg, 60mg, and 70mg strength capsules in 100-count bottles.
