Elvanse (Lisdexamfetamine)
Active Ingredient: Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate
Overview:
Elvanse is a prescription medication primarily used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children aged 6 and above, adolescents, and adults. It is also prescribed for Binge Eating Disorder (BED) in adults. As a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant, Elvanse helps improve attention, reduce impulsivity, and manage hyperactivity, making it easier for patients to focus and stay organized.
How Elvanse Works:
The active ingredient, lisdexamfetamine dimesylate, is a prodrug of dexamfetamine. Once ingested, it is metabolized into its active form, which increases the levels of key neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain. This enhances focus, attention span, and emotional regulation.
Uses:
- ADHD Treatment: Improves focus, decreases impulsivity, and reduces hyperactivity in patients diagnosed with ADHD.
- Binge Eating Disorder: Helps manage symptoms by reducing excessive eating episodes.
Dosage and Administration:
- ADHD: Taken once daily, preferably in the morning, with or without food.
- Binge Eating Disorder: Dosage is individualized and must be prescribed by a healthcare provider.
- The capsule can be swallowed whole with water or opened and mixed with soft food or liquid for ease of consumption.
Important: Always follow your doctor\u2019s instructions for proper use. Avoid taking doses later in the day to prevent sleep disturbances.
Possible Side Effects:
- Common Side Effects: Loss of appetite, insomnia, dry mouth, increased heart rate, or irritability.
- Serious Side Effects (rare): High blood pressure, mood swings, or allergic reactions.
Contact your healthcare provider if you experience severe or persistent side effects.
