Does Adderall Intake Have An Effect On The Hormonal Development Of A Child?
Hello I am a concerned grandmother of a 15 year old male who has been taking adderall since he was around 4 years old up until recently. His penis has not fully developed or is not growing as it should for a child his age. Did the drugs have an affect on his male organs not developing as they should have? My daughter claims that a doctor informed her that this may have contributed to his under development in his penis. Please give me the an honest answer because this should have been told to us before he started taking the drugs.

Hi,
Agree that the side effects of any medications should be outlined before the medication is started however Adderall is not known to affect the growth of the reproductive organs. This is not a documented side effect.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
