Ten milligram tablets of the hyperactivity drug, Adderall, made by Shire Plc.
Adderall and alternative ADHD medications apart from other drugs are Schedule 2 controlled substances.
Production limitationsEnding the shortages of Adderall and other ADHD medications is no easy task.
That means increasing the production of one drug could potentially require reducing production — and potentially impacting supply — of another drug, according to Ergun.
That includes Aytu BioPharma, which makes an ADHD drug that used to be in shortage.
