⏳ Availability & generic status
We did not find an FDA-approved generic match for this exact strength, form and route. Patent/protection dates below may affect future generic timing.
Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
- Patent
- Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
- Substance patent
- Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
- Formulation (product) patent
- Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
- Method-of-use patent
- A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
- Skinny label
- A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
- Exclusivity
- FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
- Paragraph IV
- A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
- RLD / RS
- Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
- TE / AB rating
- FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
- LOE (loss of exclusivity)
- The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.
Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

⏱️ Dosage and Administration ▾
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Indicated Population Initial Dose Titration Schedule Recommended Dose Maximum Dose ADHD (Adults and pediatric patients 6 years and older) ( 2.2 ) 30 mg every morning 10 mg or 20 mg weekly 30 mg to 70 mg per day 70 mg per day BED (Adults) ( 2.3 ) 30 mg every morning 20 mg weekly 50 mg to 70 mg per day 70 mg per day • Prior to treatment, assess for presence of cardiac disease ( 2.4 ) • Severe renal impairment: Maximum dose is 50 mg/day ( 2.5 ) • End stage renal disease (ESRD): Maximum dose is 30 mg/day ( 2.5 )
2.1Pretreatment Screening Prior to treating patients with ARYNTA, assess: • for the presence of cardiac disease (i.e., perform a careful history, family history of sudden death or ventricular arrhythmia, and physical exam) [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . • the family history and clinically evaluate patients for motor or verbal tics or Tourette's syndrome before initiating ARYNTA [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.8 )] .
2.2General Administration Information Take ARYNTA orally in the morning with or without food; avoid afternoon doses because of the potential for insomnia. Instruct caregivers/patients to read the ‘Instructions for Use’ for complete administration instructions. • Use the oral dosing syringe and bottle adapter provided with ARYNTA. • Ensure that the bottle adapter is firmly inserted into the bottle before first use and keep the adapter in place for the duration of the usage of the bottle. • Throw away (discard) any remaining ARYNTA 30 days after first opening the bottle.
2.3Dosage for Treatment of ADHD The recommended starting dosage in adults and pediatric patients 6 years and older is 30 mg once daily in the morning. Dosage may be adjusted in increments of 10 mg or 20 mg at approximately weekly intervals up to maximum recommended dosage of 70 mg once daily [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )] .
2.4Dosage for Treatment of Moderate to Severe BED in Adults The recommended starting dosage in adults is 30 mg once daily to be titrated in increments of 20 mg at approximately weekly intervals to achieve the recommended target dose of 50 mg to 70 mg once daily. The maximum recommended dosage is 70 mg once daily [see Clinical Studies ( 14.2 )]. Discontinue ARYNTA if binge eating does not improve.
2.5Dosage in Patients with Renal Impairment In patients with severe renal impairment (GFR 15 to < 30 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ), the maximum dosage should not exceed 50 mg once daily. In patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD, GFR < 15 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ), the maximum recommended dosage is 30 mg once daily [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.6 )] .
2.6Dosage Modifications due to Drug Interactions Agents that alter urinary pH can impact urinary excretion and alter blood levels of amphetamine. Acidifying agents (e.g., ascorbic acid) decrease blood levels, while alkalinizing agents (e.g., sodium bicarbonate) increase blood levels. Adjust ARYNTA dosage accordingly [see Drug Interactions ( 7.1 )] .
💊 Dosage Forms and Strengths ▾
3 DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS ARYNTA oral solution 10 mg/mL is supplied as a clear colorless solution. Oral solution: 10 mg/mL.
⛔ Contraindications ▾
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS ARYNTA is contraindicated in patients with: • Known hypersensitivity to amphetamine products or other ingredients of ARYNTA. Anaphylactic reactions, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, angioedema, and urticaria have been observed in postmarketing reports [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.2 )]. • Patients taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), or within 14 days of stopping MAOIs (including MAOIs such as linezolid or intravenous methylene blue), because of an increased risk of hypertensive crisis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 ) and Drug Interactions ( 7.1 )]. • Known hypersensitivity to amphetamine products or other ingredients in ARYNTA ( 4 ) • Use with monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor, or within 14 days of the last MAO inhibitor dose ( 4 , 7.1 )
⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Risks to Patients with Serious Cardiac Disease : Avoid use in patients with known structural cardiac abnormalities, cardiomyopathy, serious cardiac arrhythmia, coronary artery disease, or other serious cardiac disease ( 5.2 ) • Increased Blood Pressure and Heart Rate : Monitor blood pressure and pulse. ( 5.3 ) • Psychiatric Adverse Reactions : Prior to initiating ARYNTA, screen patients for risk factors for developing a manic episode. If new psychotic or manic symptoms occur, consider discontinuing ARYNTA.
( 5.4 ) • Long-Term Suppression of Growth in Pediatric Patients : Closely monitor growth (height and weight) in pediatric patients. Pediatric patients not growing or gaining height or weight as expected may need to have their treatment interrupted. ( 5.5 ) • Peripheral Vasculopathy, including Raynaud's phenomenon : Careful observation for digital changes is necessary during ARYNTA treatment.
Further clinical evaluation (e.g., rheumatology referral) may be appropriate for patients who develop signs or symptoms of peripheral vasculopathy. ( 5.6 ) • Serotonin Syndrome : Increased risk when co-administered with serotonergic agents (e.g., SSRIs, SNRIs, triptans), but also during overdosage situations. If it occurs, discontinue ARYNTA and initiate supportive treatment.
( 4 , 5.7 , 10 ) • Motor and Verbal Tics, and Worsening of Tourette's Syndrome : Before initiating ARYNTA, assess the family history and clinically evaluate patients for tics or Tourette's syndrome. Regularly monitor patients for the emergence or worsening of tics or Tourette's syndrome. Discontinue treatment if clinically appropriate.
( 5.8 )
5.1Abuse, Misuse, and Addiction ARYNTA has a high potential for abuse and misuse. The use of ARYNTA exposes individuals to the risks of abuse and misuse, which can lead to the development of a substance use disorder, including addiction. ARYNTA can be diverted for non-medical use into illicit channels or distribution [see Drug Abuse and Dependence ( 9.2 )] .
Misuse and abuse of CNS stimulants, including ARYNTA, can result in overdose and death [see Overdosage ( 10 )] , and this risk is increased with higher doses or unapproved methods of administration, such as snorting or injection. Before prescribing ARYNTA, assess each patient's risk for abuse, misuse, and addiction. Educate patients and their families about these risks and proper disposal of any unused drug.
Advise patients to store ARYNTA in a safe place, preferably locked, and instruct patients to not give ARYNTA to anyone else. Throughout ARYNTA treatment, reassess each patient's risk of abuse, misuse, and addiction and frequently monitor for signs and symptoms of abuse, misuse, and addiction.
5.2Risks to Patients with Serious Cardiac Disease Sudden death has been reported in patients with structural cardiac abnormalities or other serious cardiac disease who were treated with CNS stimulants at the recommended ADHD dosage. Avoid ARYNTA use in patients with known structural cardiac abnormalities, cardiomyopathy, serious cardiac arrhythmia, coronary artery disease, or other serious cardiac disease.
5.3Increased Blood Pressure and Heart Rate CNS stimulants cause an increase in blood pressure (mean increase about 2 to 4 mm Hg) and heart rate (mean increase about 3 to 6 bpm). Some patients may have larger increases. Monitor all ARYNTA -treated patients for potential tachycardia and hypertension.
5.4Psychiatric Adverse Reactions Exacerbation of Pre-existing Psychosis CNS stimulants may exacerbate symptoms of behavior disturbance and thought disorder in patients with a pre-existing psychotic disorder. Induction of a Manic Episode in Patients with Bipolar Disorder CNS stimulants may induce a manic or mixed episode. Prior to initiating ARYNTA treatment, screen patients for risk factors for developing a manic episode (e.g., comorbid or history of depressive symptoms or a family history of suicide, bipolar disorder, and depression).

6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder The safety data in this section is based on data from the 4-week controlled parallel-group clinical studies of Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate in pediatric and adult patients with ADHD [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )].
Adverse Reactions Associated with Discontinuation of Treatment in ADHD Clinical Trials In the controlled trial in pediatric patients ages 6 to 12 years (Study 1), 8% (18/218) of ARYNTA-treated patients discontinued due to adverse reactions compared to 0% (0/72) of placebo-treated patients. The most frequently reported adverse reactions (1% or more and twice rate of placebo) were ECG voltage criteria for ventricular hypertrophy, tic, vomiting, psychomotor hyperactivity, insomnia, decreased appetite and rash [2 instances for each adverse reaction, i.e., 2/218 (1%)].
Less frequently reported adverse reactions (less than 1% or less than twice rate of placebo) included abdominal pain upper, dry mouth, weight decreased, dizziness, somnolence, logorrhea, chest pain, anger and hypertension. In the controlled trial in pediatric patients ages 13 to 17 years (Study 4), 3% (7/233) of ARYNTA-treated patients discontinued due to adverse reactions compared to 1% (1/77) of placebo-treated patients. The most frequently reported adverse reactions (1% or more and twice rate of placebo) were decreased appetite (2/233; 1%) and insomnia (2/233; 1%).
Less frequently reported adverse reactions (less than 1% or less than twice rate of placebo) included irritability, dermatillomania, mood swings, and dyspnea. In the controlled adult trial (Study 7), 6% (21/358) of ARYNTA-treated patients discontinued due to adverse reactions compared to 2% (1/62) of placebo-treated patients. The most frequently reported adverse reactions (1% or more and twice rate of placebo) were insomnia (8/358; 2%), tachycardia (3/358; 1%), irritability (2/358; 1%), hypertension (4/358; 1%), headach…
🔄 Drug Interactions ▾
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Acidifying and Alkalinizing Agents : Agents that alter urinary pH can alter blood levels of amphetamine. Acidifying agents decrease amphetamine blood levels, while alkalinizing agents increase amphetamine blood levels. Adjust ARYNTA dosage accordingly. ( 2.6 , 7.1 )
7.1Drugs Having Clinically Important Interactions with Amphetamines Table 5 Drugs Having Clinically Important Interactions with Amphetamines MAO Inhibitors (MAOI) Prevention or Management Do not administer ARYNTA during or within 14 days following the administration of MAOI [see Contraindications ( 4 )] . Mechanism and Clinical Effect(s) MAOI antidepressants slow amphetamine metabolism, increasing amphetamines effect on the release of norepinephrine and other monoamines from adrenergic nerve endings causing headaches and other signs of hypertensive crisis.
Toxic neurological effects and malignant hyperpyrexia can occur, sometimes with fatal results. Serotonergic Drugs Prevention or Management Initiate with lower doses and monitor patients for signs and symptoms of serotonin syndrome, particularly during ARYNTA initiation or dosage increase. If serotonin syndrome occurs, discontinue ARYNTA and the concomitant serotonergic drug(s) [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 )] .
Mechanism and Clinical Effect(s) The concomitant use of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate and serotonergic drugs increases the risk of serotonin syndrome. CYP2D6 Inhibitors Prevention or Management Initiate with lower doses and monitor patients for signs and symptoms of serotonin syndrome particularly during ARYNTA initiation and after a dosage increase. If serotonin syndrome occurs, discontinue ARYNTA and the CYP2D6 inhibitor [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 ) and Overdosage ( 10 )].
Mechanism and Clinical Effect(s) The concomitant use of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate and CYP2D6 inhibitors may increase the exposure of dextroamphetamine, the active metabolite of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate compared to the use of the drug alone and increase the risk of serotonin syndrome. Alkalinizing Agents Prevention or Management Co-administration of ARYNTA and urinary alkalinizing agents should be avoided. Mechanism and Clinical Effect(s) Urinary alkalinizing agents can increase blood levels and potentiate the action of amphetamine.
Acidifying Agents Prevention or Management Increase dose based on clinical response. Mechanism and Clinical Effect(s) Urinary acidifying agents can lower blood levels and efficacy of amphetamines. Tricyclic Antidepressants Prevention or Management Monitor frequently and adjust or use alternative therapy based on clinical response.
Mechanism and Clinical Effect(s) May enhance the activity of tricyclic or sympathomimetic agents causing striking and sustained increases in the concentration of d-amphetamine in the brain; cardiovascular effects can be potentiated.
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS • Pregnancy : May cause fetal harm ( 8.1 ) • Lactation : Breastfeeding not recommended ( 8.2 )
8.1Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to ADHD medications during pregnancy. Healthcare providers are encouraged to register patients by calling the National Pregnancy Registry for Psychostimulants at 1-866-961-2388 or visiting online at https://womensmentalhealth.org/clinical-and-research-programs/pregnancyregistry/adhd-medications/. Risk Summary The limited available data from published literature and postmarketing reports on use of ARYNTA in pregnant women are not sufficient to inform a drug-associated risk for major birth defects and miscarriage.
Adverse pregnancy outcomes, including premature delivery and low birth weight, have been seen in infants born to mothers dependent on amphetamines [ see Clinical Considerations ]. In animal reproduction studies, lisdexamfetamine dimesylate (a prodrug of d-amphetamine) had no effects on embryo-fetal morphological development or survival when administered orally to pregnant rats and rabbits throughout the period of organogenesis. Pre- and postnatal studies were not conducted with lisdexamfetamine dimesylate.
However, amphetamine (d- to l- ratio of 3:1) administration to pregnant rats during gestation and lactation caused a decrease in pup survival and a decrease in pup body weight that correlated with a delay in developmental landmarks at clinically relevant doses of amphetamine. In addition, adverse effects on reproductive performance were observed in pups whose mothers were treated with amphetamine. Long-term neurochemical and behavioral effects have also been reported in animal developmental studies using clinically relevant doses of amphetamine [see Data].
The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.
Clinical Considerations Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions Amphetamines, such as ARYNTA, cause vasoconstriction and thereby may decrease placental perfusion. In addition, amphetamines can stimulate uterine contractions increasing the risk of premature delivery. Infants born to amphetamine-dependent mothers have an increased risk of premature delivery and low birth weight.
Monitor infants born to mothers taking amphetamines for symptoms of withdrawal such as feeding difficulties, irritability, agitation, and excessive drowsiness. Data Animal Data Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate had no apparent effects on embryo-fetal morphological development or survival when administered orally to pregnant rats and rabbits throughout the period of organogenesis at doses of up to 40 and 120 mg/kg/day, respectively. These doses are approximately 5.5 and 33 times, respectively, the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 70 mg/day given to adults, on a mg/m2 body surface area basis.
A study was conducted with amphetamine (d- to l- enantiomer ratio of 3:1) in which pregnant rats received daily oral doses of 2, 6, and 10 mg/kg from gestation day 6 to lactation day 20. All doses caused hyperactivity and decreased weight gain in the dams. A decrease in pup survival was seen at all doses.
A decrease in pup body weight was seen at 6 and 10 mg/kg which correlated with delays in developmental landmarks, such as preputial separation and vaginal opening. Increased pup locomotor activity was seen at 10 mg/kg on day 22 postpartum but not at 5 weeks postweaning. When pups were tested for reproductive performance at maturation, gestational weight gain, number of implantations, and number of delivered pups were decreased in the group whose mothers had been given 10 mg/kg.

Clinical Considerations Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions Amphetamines, such as ARYNTA, cause vasoconstriction and thereby may decrease placental perfusion. In addition, amphetamines can stimulate uterine contractions increasing the risk of premature delivery. Infants born to amphetamine-dependent mothers have an increased risk of premature delivery and low birth weight.
Monitor infants born to mothers taking amphetamines for symptoms of withdrawal such as feeding difficulties, irritability, agitation, and excessive drowsiness. Data Animal Data Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate had no apparent effects on embryo-fetal morphological development or survival when administered orally to pregnant rats and rabbits throughout the period of organogenesis at doses of up to 40 and 120 mg/kg/day, respectively. These doses are approximately 5.5 and 33 times, respectively, the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 70 mg/day given to adults, on a mg/m2 body surface area basis.
A study was conducted with amphetamine (d- to l- enantiomer ratio of 3:1) in which pregnant rats received daily oral doses of 2, 6, and 10 mg/kg from gestation day 6 to lactation day 20. All doses caused hyperactivity and decreased weight gain in the dams. A decrease in pup survival was seen at all doses.
A decrease in pup body weight was seen at 6 and 10 mg/kg which correlated with delays in developmental landmarks, such as preputial separation and vaginal opening. Increased pup locomotor activity was seen at 10 mg/kg on day 22 postpartum but not at 5 weeks postweaning. When pups were tested for reproductive performance at maturation, gestational weight gain, number of implantations, and number of delivered pups were decreased in the group whose mothers had been given 10 mg/kg.
A number of studies from the literature in rodents indicate that prenatal or early postnatal exposure to amphetamine (d- or d, l-) at doses sim…
🧒 Pediatric Use ▾
8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of ARYNTA have not been established in pediatric patients below the age of 6 years. ADHD Safety and effectiveness of ARYNTA have been established in pediatric patients with ADHD ages 6 to 17 years [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 ), Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ), and Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )]. Safety and efficacy of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate were evaluated in a double-blind, randomized, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, fixed-dose study in pediatric patients ages 4 to 5 years with ADHD, followed by a 1-year open-label extension study.
In these studies, patients experienced elevated rates of adverse reactions, including weight loss, decreased BMI, decreased appetite, insomnia, infections (upper respiratory and nasopharyngitis), irritability, and affect lability. With the same lisdexamfetamine dimesylate dose, mean steady state exposure of dextroamphetamine was approximately 44% higher in pediatric patients ages 4 to 5 years compared to the pediatric patients ages 6 to 11 years. BED Safety and effectiveness of ARYNTA have not been established in pediatric patients with BED less than 18 years of age.
Growth Suppression Growth should be monitored during treatment with stimulants, including ARYNTA, and pediatric patients who are not growing or gaining weight as expected may need to have their treatment interrupted [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 ) and Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )]. Juvenile Animal Data Studies conducted in juvenile rats and dogs at clinically relevant doses showed growth suppression that partially or fully reversed in dogs and female rats but not in male rats after a four-week drug-free recovery period.
A study was conducted in which juvenile rats received oral doses of 4, 10, or 40 mg/kg/day of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate from day 7 to day 63 of age. These doses are approximately 0.3, 0.7, and 3 times the maximum recommended human daily dose of 70 mg on a mg/m 2 basis for a child. Dose-related decreases in food consumption, bodyweight gain, and crown-rump length were seen; after a four-week drug-free recovery period, bodyweights and crown-rump lengths had significantly recovered in females but were still substantially reduced in males.
Time to vaginal opening was delayed in females at the highest dose, but there were no drug effects on fertility when the animals were mated beginning on day 85 of age. In a study in which juvenile dogs received lisdexamfetamine dimesylate for 6 months beginning at 10 weeks of age, decreased bodyweight gain was seen at all doses tested (2, 5, and 12 mg/kg/day, which are approximately 0.5, 1, and 3 times the maximum recommended human daily dose on a mg/m 2 basis for a child). This effect partially or fully reversed during a four-week drug-free recovery period.
🧓 Geriatric Use ▾
8.5Geriatric Use Clinical studies of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience and pharmacokinetic data [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] have not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should start at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.
🆘 Overdosage ▾
10 OVERDOSAGE Clinical Effects of Overdose Overdose of CNS stimulants is characterized by the following sympathomimetic effects: • Cardiovascular effects including tachyarrhythmias, and hypertension or hypotension. Vasospasm, myocardial infarction, or aortic dissection may precipitate sudden cardiac death. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy may develop. • CNS effects including psychomotor agitation, confusion, and hallucinations.
Serotonin syndrome, seizures, cerebral vascular accidents, and coma may occur. • Life-threatening hyperthermia (temperatures greater than 104°F) and rhabdomyolysis may develop. Overdose Management Consider the possibility of multiple drug ingestion. The pharmacokinetic profile of ARYNTA should be considered when treating patients with overdose.
Lisdexamfetamine and d-amphetamine are not dialyzable. Consider contacting the Poison Help line (1-800-222-1222) or a medical toxicologist for additional overdose management recommendations.
🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Lisdexamfetamine is a prodrug of dextroamphetamine. Amphetamines are non-catecholamine sympathomimetic amines with CNS stimulant activity. The exact mode of therapeutic action in ADHD and BED is not known.
12.2Pharmacodynamics Amphetamines block the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine into the presynaptic neuron and increase the release of these monoamines into the extraneuronal space. The parent drug, lisdexamfetamine, does not bind to the sites responsible for the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine in vitro.
12.3Pharmacokinetics No clinically significant difference in lisdexamfetamine and dextroamphetamine exposures was observed following oral administration of either ARYNTA or lisdexamfetamine dimesylate capsule. Pharmacokinetic studies after oral administration of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate have been conducted in healthy adult (capsule and chewable tablet formulations) and pediatric (6 to 12 years) patients with ADHD (capsule formulation). After single dose administration of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate, pharmacokinetics of dextroamphetamine was found to be linear between 30 mg and 70 mg in a pediatric study (6 to 12 years), and between 50 mg and 250 mg in an adult study.
Dextroamphetamine pharmacokinetic parameters following administration of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate in adults exhibited low inter-subject (<25%) and intra-subject (<8%) variability. There is no accumulation of lisdexamfetamine and dextroamphetamine at steady state in healthy adults. Absorption Following single-dose administration of ARYNTA under fasted conditions, the peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) of lisdexamfetamine and dextroamphetamine were reached at approximately 1 hour and 3.5 hours post dose, respectively.
Effect of Food No clinically significant differences in ARYNTA pharmacokinetics were observed following administration of a high-fat meal (1000 calories, 50% fat). Food delayed the median time to reach C max (T max ) of dextroamphetamine from 3.5 hours to 4.5 hours. Elimination Plasma concentrations of unconverted lisdexamfetamine are low and transient, generally becoming non-quantifiable by 8 hours after administration.
The plasma elimination half-life of lisdexamfetamine typically averaged less than one hour in volunteers ages 6 years and older. The plasma elimination half-life of dextroamphetamine was approximately 8.6 to 9.5 hours in pediatric patients 6 to 12 years and 10 to 11.3 hours in healthy adults. Metabolism Lisdexamfetamine is converted to dextroamphetamine and l-lysine primarily in blood due to the hydrolytic activity of red blood cells after oral administration of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate.
In vitro data demonstrated that red blood cells have a high capacity for metabolism of lisdexamfetamine; substantial hydrolysis occurred even at low hematocrit levels (33% of normal). Lisdexamfetamine is not metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes. Excretion Following oral administration of a 70 mg dose of radiolabeled lisdexamfetamine dimesylate to 6 healthy subjects, approximately 96% of the oral dose radioactivity was recovered in the urine and only 0.3% recovered in the feces over a period of 120 hours.
Of the radioactivity recovered in the urine, 42% of the dose was related to amphetamine, 25% to hippuric acid, and 2% to intact lisdexamfetamine.
