Mydayis (mixed amphetamine salts)

What Is Mydayis?

Mydayis, a prescription brand name medication, is available only by prescription. The medication treats Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), which affects adults and children aged 13 years or older. ADHD is a mental health disorder that can lead to problems like difficulty paying attention and sitting still.

Mydayis is a member of a group of medications known as stimulants. A class of drugs is an assortment of similar medicines. Mydayis contains the active drug amphetamine in four different forms:

• dextroamphetamine sulfate
• dextroamphetamine saccharate
• amphetamine aspartate monohydrate
• amphetamine sulfate

These salts are also known as mixed amphetamine.

Mydayis is available in a capsule with an extended-release that you can take orally. Extended-release drugs slowly enter your bloodstream over time, ensuring the drug is in your system all day.

Mydayis is a controlled substance.

Mydayis is classified as a controlled drug. You can abuse Mydayis or become dependent upon it.

The Drug Enforcement Administration has regulations that regulate how certain medications are prescribed and dispensed in a pharmacy. It would be best if you got a new script for every refill. The rules also restrict which doctor type can write your prescription and how much medication can be stored at a particular time in the pharmacy.

Effectiveness

Mydayis eased ADHD symptoms in five studies when compared with a placebo.

People with ADHD received either Mydayis or a placebo in each study. Each study included adults and children aged 13 or older. To measure ADHD symptoms, everyone was evaluated with ADHD rating scales at the start of each survey and throughout. The ADHD symptoms of people taking Mydayis were significantly reduced compared to those who took placebos at the end of each study.
