Adderall

Adderall is a popular medication used by more than 700,000 Americans to help manage the symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder, or ADD. It was approved by the FDA on November 8th, 2002.

On February 9th, 2005, the Canadian drug regulation body Health Canada suspended sales of the drug in Canada. The action was based on studies from U.S. groups showing sudden death in some pediatric patients who used the drug. According to the agency, more than 20 sudden deaths had been reported since the drug's release, including a prior formulation of the drug released in 1994.

On January 3, 2006, the FDA sought to review reports of heart complications in children and adults using ADD drugs. U.S. and Canadian regulators had been investigating the probable heart risk of attention-deficit drugs over the previous few years.

Adderall, Concerta, Ritalin and other ADHD drugs accounted for $3.1 billion of sales in 2004, up from $759 million in 2000.
