Abstract
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is revising the labeling of all extended-release stimulants indicated to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) - including certain formulations of amphetamine and methylphenidate - to warn about the risk of weight loss and other adverse reactions (side effects) in patients younger than 6 years taking these medications.
