What Is The Combination Of Addreall XR Mixed With Amphetemius Salt For A Child With ODD, Asperger S, ADHD?

Hello my name is Ms Taylor and I need to know about the combination of Adderall XR mixed with Amphetemius Salt. My son is now in a behavioral treatment hospital and the doctor said that after the EKG they will be recommending medicines for ADHD. She told me that is EKG was not normal but often they are not and is waiting for clearance from the doctor to recommend a medicine. She gave me a list of meds and this particular one was on the list. My son is 10 years old and have been diagnosed with ODD, Asperger s, ADHD, etc. Thank you

Hi Ms Taylor,

Adderall XR is itself the mixture of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine salts. It is not mixed with any other salts. It gives good results in ADHD and is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) for use in ADHD. It is a stimulant and sale is strictly regulated. The comparative effectiveness of different treatment options for children with ADHD, including different amphetamine medications, has been studied by the US Agency for Health Care Research and Quality and summarized for parents. You can get this information at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0047798 and make an informed choice for your son.

Hope this helps you. Best wishes.
