Adderall Side Effects Lawsuit

Send to Friend | Bookmark | Live Chat

The popular ADHD drug Adderall XR used by millions of Americans has been linked to heart attacks, strokes, hypertension and sudden deaths. Recently, the FDA added a "Black Box" warning to the Adderall's package insert warning of the aforementioned side effects.

Important Update: Our firm is no longer accepting Adderall claims.

Adderall Black Box Warning

On August 21, the Food & Drug Administration added its strongest warning label – a “Black Box” label – to Ritalin, Adderall, Focalin, Methylin, Metadate, Concerta and similar medications used to treat attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The decision was based on reports of sudden death, heart attacks, strokes and hypertension among children and adult users of Adderall and Adderall XR.

The concern over the risks associated with ADHD stimulant drugs is so great that it prompted a temporary suspension of Adderall XR in Canada last year.
