VYVANSE (lisdexamfetamine dimesylate) is an oral CNS stimulant tablet approved by the FDA on January 28, 2017, for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults. The drug is a prodrug that is converted to dextroamphetamine in the body, exerting its therapeutic effect through sympathomimetic CNS stimulation, though the exact mechanism in ADHD remains incompletely understood. VYVANSE is positioned as a long-acting oral treatment option for adult ADHD management and represents a small-molecule therapeutic approach in the stimulant class.
