Imagine if the factory making chocolate bars suddenly had a machine malfunction! Well, the same thing happened with Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, but instead of chocolate bars, they make a medication called Adderall. Adderall is a prescription drug used to treat people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Unfortunately, because of these manufacturing delays, there is now a shortage of Adderall. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is aware of the situation and has issued a warning. They want people who rely on Adderall for their ADHD to know that there might be some difficulties getting their medication. While it’s no fun when you can’t get your chocolate fix, it’s even more important for people with ADHD to have access to their prescribed medication. It’s a good idea to reach out to your healthcare provider to discuss alternative treatment options or find out when Adderall might be available again. Stay tuned for updates from the FDA on Teva’s progress getting back on schedule!
