What is XELSTRYM?

The first and only amphetamine treatment for ADHD that uses patch technology to passively deliver medication through the skin.

XELSTRYM has the same active metabolite (dextroamphetamine) as Vyvanse®*, a medication used to treat ADHD since 2007.

This technology allows you and your healthcare provider to tailor your ADHD treatment to meet your daily schedule. Work with your healthcare provider to determine when to apply and when to remove XELSTRYM.

XELSTRYM should be removed within 9 hours.

There are no head-to-head safety or efficacy studies comparing Vyvanse® and XELSTRYM.
*VYVANSE® is a registered trademark of Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc.

XELSTRYM is a central nervous system stimulant prescription medicine used for the treatment of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults and children 6 years and older. It is not known if XELSTRYM is safe and effective in children younger than 6 years of age.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Abuse and dependence: XELSTRYM, other amphetamine-containing medicines, and methylphenidate have a high chance for abuse and can cause physical and psychological dependence. Your healthcare provider (HCP) should check you or your child for signs of abuse and dependence before and during treatment with XELSTRYM.

  • Tell your HCP if you or your child has ever abused or been dependent on alcohol, prescription medicines or street drugs.
  • Your HCP can tell you how physical and psychological dependence and drug addiction are different.

XELSTRYM is a federally controlled substance (CII) because it contains amphetamine that can be a target for people who abuse prescription medicines or street drugs. Keep XELSTRYM in a safe place to protect it from theft. Never sell or give your XELSTRYM to anyone else because it may cause death or harm to them and it is against the law.

Do not use XELSTRYM if you or your child are:
  • Allergic to amphetamine or any of the ingredients in XELSTRYM. See the end of the Medication Guide for a complete list of ingredients in XELSTRYM.
  • Taking or have taken within the past 14 days a medicine called a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), including the antibiotic linezolid or the intravenous medicine called methylene blue.
Do not use XELSTRYM if you or your child are:
  • Heart-related problems, including:
    • sudden death, stroke, and heart attack in adults
    • sudden death in children who have heart problems or heart defects
    • increased blood pressure and heart rate
    Your HCP should check you or your child carefully for heart problems before starting treatment with XELSTRYM. Tell your HCP if you or your child have any heart problems, heart defects, high blood pressure, or a family history of these problems. Your HCP should check your or your child’s blood pressure and heart rate regularly during treatment with XELSTRYM. Call your HCP or go to the nearest hospital emergency room right away if you or your child have any signs of heart problems such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or fainting during treatment with XELSTRYM.
  • Mental (psychiatric) problems, including: new or worse behavior and thought problems, new or worse bipolar illness, new psychotic symptoms (such as hearing voices, or seeing or believing things that are not real) or new manic symptoms. Tell your HCP about any mental problems you or your child have or about a family history of suicide, bipolar illness, or depression. Call your HCP right away if you or your child have any new or worsening mental symptoms or problems during treatment with XELSTRYM, especially hearing, seeing or believing things that are not real, or new manic symptoms.
  • Slowing of growth (height or weight) in children. Children should have their height and weight checked often while on XELSTRYM. Your HCP may stop treatment with XELSTRYM if your child is not growing or gaining height or weight as expected.
  • Circulation problems in fingers and toes (peripheral vasculopathy, including Raynaud’s phenomenon): fingers or toes may feel numb, cool, painful, fingers or toes may change color from pale, to blue, to red. Tell your HCP if you or your child has any numbness, pain, skin color change, or sensitivity to temperature in your fingers or toes. Call your HCP right away if you or your child have any signs of unexplained wounds appearing on fingers or toes while using XELSTRYM.
  • Serotonin syndrome: symptoms such as agitation, fast heartbeat, flushing, seizures, coma, sweating, loss of coordination, confusion, dizziness, tremors, stiff muscles, muscle twitching, seeing or hearing things that are not real (hallucinations), changes in blood pressure, high body temperature (hyperthermia), nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea may occur. Stop using XELSTRYM and call your HCP or go to the emergency room if symptoms occur. Serotonin syndrome may occur if XELSTRYM is taken with certain medicines and may be life-threatening.
  • Allergic skin rash (contact sensitization): Stop using XELSTRYM and tell your HCP right away if you or your child develop swelling or blisters at or around the application site.
  • Application site reactions have happened while wearing XELSTRYM and after removal of the patch. Symptoms include pain, itching, burning feeling, redness, discomfort, or swelling at the application site. Call your HCP if you or child develop any application site reactions that do not resolve on their own.

  • Are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if XELSTRYM may harm your unborn baby.
  • Are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. XELSTRYM can pass into your milk. Do not breastfeed while taking XELSTRYM. Talk to your doctor about the best way to feed your baby if you take XELSTRYM.

  • Avoid exposing the application site to direct external heat sources such as hair dryers, heating pads, electric blankets, heat lamps, saunas, hot tubs, and heated water beds as exposure to heat can cause too much medicine to pass into your body and cause serious side effects.
