History

New River Pharmaceuticals developed lisdexamfetamine, said drug of which was developed as a safer alternative to dextroamphetamine. Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate is, in fact, the first-ever pro-drug in its class.

On 23 April 2008, the Food and Drug Administration approved the use of Vyvanse for the adult population. On 8 February 2012, the federal agency approved the drug as a maintenance treatment for adults with ADHD. On January 2015, the FDA also approved it as an adjunct medication for binge eating disorder among adults.

After two years, the FDA also approved a new dosage form – a chewable tablet – aside from the present capsule form.

Medical Uses

Vyvanse is primarily used in the treatment of:

  • Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children six years old and up as well as in adults; and
  • Moderate to severe symptoms of binge eating disorder in adults

Emphasis must be made that it’s not recommended as treatment for obesity and for weight loss purposes.

Vyvanse is a prodrug in that it consist of two ingredients – dextroamphetamine, a phenethylamine stimulant belonging to the amphetamine class, and essential amino acid L-lysine.

Warning/Precaution

Since Vyvanse may be habit-forming, as well as being a drug of abuse, be sure to take it strictly according to your doctor’s prescription. Talk to your doctor about a worsening of your symptoms and your reactions to your present dose so that adjustments can be made.

The drug should only be taken in the morning, either with or without food, but not in the evening to avoid possible sleep issues, such as insomnia. Swallow the capsule whole or completely chew the chewable tablet before swallowing.
