“The problem is simple: supply and demand. Right now, there’s more demand for the drug than ever before. ”
CLEVELAND — The FDA announced a nationwide shortage of the immediate-release formulation of amphetamine mixed salts, commonly referred to by the brand name Adderall.
“This is something that people have been reporting or noticing for weeks now, maybe longer,” said Marino. “I have heard, anecdotally, from people I know and also from patients that they have had trouble getting it throughout the country. It is a nationwide shortage and would be expected to affect us here in northeast Ohio, too.”“These medications can really be life-changing and, in some cases, life-saving,” he said.
Part of the rise in prescriptions is because of new Telehealth companies that allow patients to get diagnosed and prescribed easier, said Juscelino Colares, law and business professor at Case Western Reserve University.But more diagnoses don’t mean more drug production. Adderall is an amphetamine that is a federally regulated controlled substance, so only so much can be made at a time.
