AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
VYVANSE (lisdexamfetamine dimesylate) is an oral capsule CNS stimulant approved by the FDA in February 2007 for the treatment of ADHD in adults. It is a prodrug that is converted to dextroamphetamine in the body, exerting its therapeutic effect through sympathomimetic activity. The exact mechanism of action in ADHD remains incompletely understood, though amphetamines are known to enhance catecholamine neurotransmission. VYVANSE represents a foundational therapy in the stimulant-based ADHD treatment landscape.
