IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
|
WARNING: ABUSE AND DEPENDENCE
CNS stimulants, including Adzenys XR-ODT, other amphetamine-containing products, and
methylphenidate, have a high potential for abuse and dependence. Assess the risk of abuse prior to
prescribing and monitor for signs of abuse and dependence while on therapy. |
|
Contraindications
- Known hypersensitivity to amphetamine or other ingredients in Adzenys XR-ODT. Angioedema and
anaphylactic reactions have been reported in patients treated with other amphetamine products.
- Taking a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), or have taken an MAOI within the past 14 days.
Hypertensive crisis can occur.

Warnings and Precautions
- Serious Cardiovascular Reactions: Sudden death has been reported in association with CNS stimulant
treatment at recommended doses in pediatric patients with structural cardiac abnormalities or other
serious heart problems. In adults, sudden death, stroke, and myocardial infarction have been reported.
Avoid use in patients with known structural cardiac abnormalities, cardiomyopathy, serious heart
arrhythmia, coronary artery disease, and other serious heart problems. Further evaluate patients who
develop exertional chest pain, unexplained syncope, or arrhythmias during Adzenys XR-ODT treatment.
- Blood Pressure and Heart Rate Increases: CNS stimulants can cause an increase in blood pressure
(mean increase about 2-4 mm Hg) and heart rate (mean increase about 3-6 bpm). Consider this before
prescribing and monitor blood pressure and pulse.
- Psychiatric Adverse Reactions: CNS stimulants may cause psychotic or manic symptoms in patients with
no prior history, or exacerbate symptoms of behavior disturbance and thought disorder in patients with
pre-existing psychosis. Assess for bipolar disorder prior to treatment.
- Long-Term Suppression of Growth: Closely monitor weight and height in pediatric patients treated with
Adzenys XR-ODT. Treatment may need to be interrupted.
- Peripheral Vasculopathy, including Raynaud’s Phenomenon: Signs and symptoms are usually intermittent
and mild; very rare sequelae include digital ulceration and/or soft tissue breakdown. Careful observation
for digital changes is necessary.
- Serotonin Syndrome: Increased risk may occur when amphetamines are co-administered with serotonergic
agents (such as MAOIs, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin norepinephrine reuptake
inhibitors (SNRIs), or triptans), and during overdosage situations. If it occurs, discontinue Adzenys XR-ODT
and initiate supportive treatment.
- Potential for Overdose Due to Medication Errors: Substitution and dispensing errors with other amphetamine
products could occur, leading to possible overdosage. Do not substitute for other amphetamine products
on a milligram-per-milligram basis, because of different amphetamine base compositions and differing
pharmacokinetic profiles.

Adverse Reactions
The most common adverse reactions (≥5% and with a higher incidence than placebo) were:
- Children (ages 6 - 12): loss of appetite, insomnia, abdominal pain, emotional lability, vomiting, nervousness,
nausea, and fever.
- Adolescents (ages 13 - 17): loss of appetite, insomnia, abdominal pain, weight loss, and nervousness.
- Adults: dry mouth, loss of appetite, insomnia, headache, weight loss, nausea, anxiety, agitation, dizziness,
tachycardia, diarrhea, asthenia, and urinary tract infections.

Pregnancy and Lactation
Based on animal data, may cause fetal harm. Amphetamines, such as Adzenys XR-ODT, can increase the risk
of premature delivery, and infants born to amphetamine dependent mothers have an increased risk of low birth
weight.
Breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with Adzenys XR-ODT.
