SUMMARY
dextroamphetamine sulfate extended-release capsules
Dextroamphetamine sulfate is the dextro isomer of the compound d,l- amphetamine sulfate, a sympathomimetic amine of the amphetamine group.
Dextroamphetamine Sulfate Extended-Release Capsules are indicated:
- In Narcolepsy.
- In Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity, as an integral part of a total treatment program which typically includes other remedial measures (psychological, educational, social) for a stabilizing effect in pediatric patients (ages 3 years to 16 years) with a behavioral syndrome characterized by the following group of developmentally inappropriate symptoms: moderate to severe distractibility, short attention span, hyperactivity, emotional lability, and impulsivity. The diagnosis of this syndrome should not be made with finality when these symptoms are only of comparatively recent origin. Nonlocalizing (soft) neurological signs, learning disability, and abnormal EEG may or may not be present, and a diagnosis of central nervous system dysfunction may or may not be warranted.
