HARMED BY DEXEDRINE?
Learn more about filing a lawsuit for your
injury
According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) drugs like Dexedrine (dextroamphetamine sulfate) may be linked to harmful side effects in children and adults. Lawsuit information follows.
Brand name Dexedrine, manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline, is often prescribed to treat those who have more difficulty focusing, controlling actions, and remaining still or quiet than other people who are the same age. It is also used for the treatment of narcolepsy.
However, Dexedrine may also lead to sudden death in association with CNS stimulant treatment at usual doses in children and adolescents with structural cardiac abnormalities or other serious heart problems.
GlaxoSmithKline recently amended the boxed Warning label to its Dexedrine (dextroamphetamine sulfate) medication to include the following: "Misuse of amphetamines may cause sudden death and serious cardiovascular adverse events."
It also amended the Warnings section to the prescribing information to include: "sudden death has been reported in association with CNS stimulant treatment at usual doses in children and adolescents with cardiac abnormalities or other serious heart problems."
