New medicine | ADHD Information

Share

My son was at the doctors office today.  I found out there is a new medicine coming out in mid November.  It's had good reviews for ADHD/ODD in kids. He said it's like Tenex but better.  Does anyone have any information on this new medicine or even know what it's called?

Thanks,

Amy

I am not sure is this is what you are looking for, but one of the newer
ADHD medicines, which was approved in early September, is INTUNIV. I
am not an expert, but from what I have read, it is an extended release
form of Guafacine, which is the active ingredient in Tenex.

This is the link for the press release, announcing is approval by the FDA:

Also, this is the link to the drug site: http://www.intuniv.com/consumer/new-treatment-for-adhd.aspx

I hope this helps!I'd be careful if I were you.

80% of the people in the study for Intuniv dropped out*.  5 people lost consciousness on the medication.  Those numbers are insane.
