AMPHETAMINE SULFATE vs LISDEXAMFETAMINE

My board of pharmacy just posted over 30 pages of updated rules today. Most of them are just putting more responsibility on the pharmacist for any mistake made in a pharmacy. Many of the disciplinary actions from our board are enforced on simple clarical errors that are not harmful to a patient (e.g

It was a slow day in the pharmacy and I started wondering why Adderall comes as "amphetamine salts" and not as one of the individual salt forms. For example, 5 mg of amphetamine salts is 1.25 mg each of: dextroamphetamine saccharate, amphetamine aspartate monohydrate, dextroamphetamine sulfate, and

Hi everyone. I started working as a retail pharmacist in October and I have made a few mistakes. I’m feeling a bit alone and ashamed. I know we make mistakes and all we can do is learn from it and try not to make the same mistake. I am thankful these mistakes did not cause harm to the patient but I

In response to the ongoing shortage of ADHD medications, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved several generic versions of Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine dimesylate) for the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in people 6 years and older. Vyvanse is available in capsu

Last month, I paid around $200 for my Vyvanse, but this time when I picked up my meds, the copay was only $10. I don’t know if there was a mixup, if the company just drastically reduced their prices since the FDA approved generic versions, or something else, but I’m super happy. Edit: - I didn’t hi

I’m 28, and for almost as long as I can remember, I’ve been getting treated for PI ADHD. I have taken between 40-60 MG of Vyvanse/Lisdexamfetamine as a prescription to treat it since elementary school, but with this national shortage still going on, I’ve been struggling to get refills on time. I kn

Final approval and availability of generic versions of the medication in the U.S. is anticipated after this date" https://web.archive.org/web/202208

Purely anecdotal, but some possibly good news in this shitshow of a medication shortage. When I went in to pick up my Vyvanse, and they were out, the pharmacist told me, "I ordered generic Vyvanse to arrive tomorrow, but also wouldn't be surprised if it didn't make it with this delivery. Call in the

As many of you are aware by now, the current U.S. shortage of medications used to treat ADHD has patients and parents of patients who rely on these medications scrambling to fill their prescriptions, leaving some people in a position where they are starting a new medicine or going without. Discussio

I just moved to Illinois from Ohio and switched Medicaid services. For the past 2 years Ohio Medicaid has covered my 40 mg Vyvance prescription in full with essentially no issues. Today I went to fill my new prescription and was told that Illinois Medicaid won’t cover this because “I’m too old to t
