Adderall and cardiovascular risk: A therapeutic dilemma

Adderall (Shire Pharmaceuticals, Canada) is a preparation of mixed amphetamine salts made up of dextro-amphetamine saccharate, dextroamphetamine sulfate, (racemic dextro/levoamphetamine) aspartate monohydrate and (racemic dextro/levoamphetamine) sulfate in equimolar concentrations. Although the use of generic names is normally preferred, the authors elected to use the proprietary name, Adderall, in the present manuscript for brevity.
