Michigan ADHD Patients Urged To Check Pills After Recall

If there are any Michigan residents who rely on ADHD medication, you may want to take a closer look at your prescription bottles. A nationwide recall is now in place for specific lots of generic versions of Vyvanse, and some of those bottles could be sitting in medicine cabinets right now.

Why This ADHD Recall Matters For Michigan Patients

The Food and Drug Administration says that certain bottles of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate capsules, the generic form of Vyvanse, are being pulled after long-term testing showed the medication wasn't dissolving the way it was supposed to.

When a pill doesn't dissolve correctly, that doesn’t allow the body to fully absorb the medication into your system. You may lose the reliability for focus and stability during the day.

Details On The Recalled Generic Vyvanse

The affected medication was shipped by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries between May 1, 2024, and November 13, 2024, with an expiration date in 2026, and includes 10 mg capsules in 100-count bottles manufactured by OHM Laboratories in New Jersey. If that sounds like what you may have in your cabinet, you may want to double-check the label and talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your next steps.

How To Check If Your Medication Is Affected

Health officials are just warning that this drug may not be doing its job as well as it should, so there are no scary side effects to worry about. If you do have a recalled bottle, you are encouraged to reach out to your provider for a replacement, refund, or different option rather than just avoiding the medication going forward.

This isn't something to panic about, but if you rely on the medication for use, you are urged to take the next steps and reach out to your doctor if you think you may be a part of this recall.
