Adderall Lawsuit

The FDA has recently announced concern over possible life-threatening side effects associated with Adderall and other ADHD medications. The deaths of 51 children and adults in the United States have prompted regulators to start evaluating the risks of sudden death, heart attacks, high blood pressure and other serious side effects in patients taking Adderall.

An Adderall lawsuit can help you seek compensation if this commonly prescribed Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) drug has injured you or a loved one. The FDA has cautioned that although no definitive evidence has been found associating Adderall to sudden death, doctors should be wary of adverse side effects such as high blood pressure, heart attack or cardiovascular complications displayed in their patients.

Adderall is most commonly prescribed to children and teens that suffer from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. ADHD is characterized by restlessness, the inability to focus, difficulty sitting still and trouble controlling impulses. An Adderall lawsuit may be filed by anyone who has suffered serious injury as a result of this medication. An estimated two million adults and children have taken Adderall since its approval in the 1990s.

Adderall has more serious side effects than was previously believed. In Canada, 20 reported possible Adderall related sudden deaths prompted Canadian health officials to recall the medication for six months in 2005. However, it was brought back in the market when health regulators were unable to prove that the medication was any riskier than other available medications. Now evidence shows 24 cases of death in patients taking Adderall between 1999 and 2003. These findings and others could be used as evidence in an Adderall lawsuit.
