Where’s the Adderall? The amphetamine salt has seen a nationwide shortage that’s been going on for more than a year, and a group of House Democrats are demanding that the FDA explain why the shortage hasn’t ended.
Ninety-four percent of independent community pharmacies are still reporting shortages, as well as what regulars said are “record-high prescription rates” of the products. Between cost and scarcity, the shortage is preventing a smooth transition into school for students that need these drugs to regulate their emotions, The Hill reported.
Noting in a letter to the agency that the FDA had been working on the issue of manufacturers not meeting their production quotas, the Congresspersons said they not only want to see more progress on fulfilling those quotas and ending the shortage, but a plan for mitigating any future shortages.
