Adderall Attorneys

Twenty cases of Sudden Unexplained Death in Adderall patients; 12 died of strokes. On February 9, 2005, Health Canada announced that it instructed the manufacturer of Adderall to withdraw the drug from the Canadian market. This action was based on safety information concerning the association of sudden deaths, heart-related deaths, and strokes in children and adults taking usual recommended doses of Adderall.

Adderall is an amphetamine-based stimulant that is used in children and adults who suffer from attention deficit disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit with Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). ADD and ADHD cause children and adults to have problems focusing in a learning environment, even though they usually have average to above average IQs.

Health Canada's decision comes as a result of a thorough review of safety information provided by the manufacturer, which indicated there were 20 reports of sudden death in patients taking either Adderall or Adderall XR. These deaths were not associated with overdose, misuse or abuse. Fourteen deaths occurred in children, and six deaths in adults. There were 12 reports of stroke, two of which occurred in children.

It was announced in August of 2005 that Adderall would return to the Canadian market for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The Canadian Product Monograph will be revised to include warnings about the misuse of Adderall and that Adderall generally should not be used in patients with structural cardiac abnormalities.

At this time in the United States, the FDA does not feel that any immediate changes are warranted for Adderall labeling or Adderall warnings. However on February 8, 2006, the FDA unveiled a possible link between Adderall and the occurrence of heart attacks, high blood pressure and sudden death.
