Drug improves ADHD drivers

ADDERALL XR(R) (mixed salts of a single-entity amphetamine product) significantly improved driving performance, cognitive function and attention in young adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in a controlled driving simulator study conducted by the Washington Neuropsychological Institute and presented today at the 18th Annual U.S. Psychiatric and Mental Health Congress in Las Vegas, NV. “Adolescent and adult patients often fail to appreciate the effect that ADHD symptoms such as inattention have on daily activities such as driving,” said Gary Kay, Ph.D., president of the Washington Neuropsychological Institute. “Our study demonstrates that ADDERALL XR helps young adults improve their ability to drive and do so safely over a 12-hour period.”
