Important Adderall information was contained in a February 2006 FDA report that cited 51 deaths in patients taking ADHD medications. These drugs, which include Adderall, have been clearly linked to cardiovascular problems, including high blood pressure, heart attacks, stroke, hypertension, and arrhythmia, in both children and adults. These drugs have also been tentatively linked to some cases of sudden death in children. The FDA has declared that it will conduct thorough research on the safety of Adderall and other ADHD drugs.
Between 1999 and 2003, there were 24 deaths of patients in the U.S. linked to Adderall, a higher death rate than for any other ADHD drug. There were 16 deaths in that period linked to Ritalin use and 11 deaths linked to other ADHD drugs. Another 30 deaths were reported from other sources outside the U.S.
If you or someone you love is currently taking Adderall or another ADHD drug, familiarize yourself with the side effects and consult with your health care provider about alternative forms of treatment. If you or your child has suffered injury or other damages caused by taking Adderall, you may be entitled to compensation. Your first step is to have your case evaluated by a qualified Adderall attorney. See Adderall Attorney and Lawyer How to Hire to find someone to help you with your claim.
