Dexedrine Side Effects

 

Dexedrine Possible Heart Risks. On August 21, 2006, GlaxoSmithKline announced it would add a strong warning about possible heart risk to its attention deficit hyperactivity drug (ADHD) Dexedrine. Dexedrine (Generic: Dextroamphetamine sulfate) gained FDA approval on July 9, 1997.

In March 2006, an FDA panel stated new information about heart risks should be added to the labels for attention deficit drugs. The outside experts stopped short of supporting a black box warning, the strongest warning possible saying they did not want to scare off patients or their parents. Additionally, in February 2006, a different FDA panel recommended black box warnings for all ADHD drugs.

psychiatric adverse events

Packaging for the drug will also contain additional information about possible psychiatric adverse events, like hallucinations and mania, linked to ADHD drugs, according to the letter dated Aug. 4, 2006.

It is still early in the process for me and I have been kept abreast of matters effecting my case by Jillian, my case manager and Cathy, my paralegal. One aspect of the firm that I had not anticipated was the care and concern shown for my well being by Joanne, the nurse. PARKER WAICHMAN LLC is my law firm and I am glad I contacted them to work on my case. Update: Denny Tang, Esq., handled my case with updates to me throughout the process. He appears genuinely caring about his clients and that quality is priceless. Jillian Cantinieri, Legal Secretary, was initially my go to contact at the firm and performed her duties in a stellar manner. She is an exemplary employee and I am very pleased Jill was assigned to my case.
