Chỉ số theo dõi
Perform complete assessment for the presence of cardiac disease including a physical exam and family history of sudden unexplained/cardiac death and ventricular arrhythmia before treatment initiation; if findings suggest such disease, further evaluate CV status (e.g. ECG, echocardiogram). Assess for the potential of misuse, abuse, or diversion, and those at risk for bipolar disorder or mania development prior to starting treatment. Conduct prompt cardiac evaluation in patients who develop symptoms of cardiac disease (e.g. exertional chest pain, unexplained syncope) during therapy. Monitor blood pressure and heart rate at baseline, after dose increases, and periodically thereafter; weight in adults; growth rate (e.g. height, weight), appetite in children. Assess for signs of worsening of psychiatric disorder during dose adjustments or visits and at least every 6 months thereafter, behavioural or sleep changes, peripheral vasculopathy (e.g. digital changes), and misuse, abuse, or addiction throughout therapy.
Quá liều
Symptoms: Tremor, restlessness, rapid respiration, hyperreflexia, confusion, panic states, aggression, hallucination, hyperpyrexia, rhabdomyolysis, fatigue and depression following the CNS stimulation, CV effects (e.g. hypertension or hypotension, arrhythmias, circulatory collapse), gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g. nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal cramps), convulsions and coma. Management: Symptomatic treatment. Perform gastric lavage; administer activated charcoal or a cathartic and induce sedation. Consider urine acidification to enhance excretion (may increase risk of acute renal failure if with myoglobinuria). Administer IV phentolamine for acute severe hypertension.
Tương tác
Urine alkalinising agents (e.g. acetazolamide) may increase the plasma levels and action of amfetamines. Blood levels and efficacy of amfetamines may be decreased by urine acidifiers (e.g. Na acid phosphate, ammonium chloride, ascorbic acid, methenamine salts). May potentiate the effects of narcotic analgesics. Central stimulant effects of amfetamines may be inhibited by haloperidol and chlorpromazine. Lithium carbonate may block the anorectic and stimulatory effects of amfetamines. May enhance the CV effects of tricyclic or sympathomimetic agents (e.g. desipramine, protriptyline). Potentially Fatal: Increased risk of serotonin syndrome and hypertensive crisis with MAOIs. Increased risk of serotonin syndrome with SSRIs, serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), triptans, TCAs, fentanyl, lithium, tramadol, tryptophan, and buspirone.

Tác dụng
Description: Mechanism of Action: Lisdexamfetamine, a prodrug of dexamfetamine (also known as dextroamphetamine), is a non-catecholamine sympathomimetic amine with CNS stimulating action. Its mechanism of action is unknown; however, it is thought to inhibit norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake into the presynaptic neuron and increase the release of these monoamines in the extraneuronal space. Duration: 8-14 hours. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Time to peak plasma concentration: Lisdexamfetamine: Approx 1 hour (cap); 1 hour (chewable tab, at fasted state). Dexamfetamine: 3.8 hours (cap, at fasted state); 4.7 hours (cap, after a high-fat meal); 3.9-4.4 hours (chewable tab, at fasted state); 4.9 hours hour (chewable tab, after a high-fat meal). Distribution: Crosses the placenta (as dexamfetamine) and enters breastmilk. Metabolism: Metabolised mainly in the blood via the hydrolytic activity of the RBCs to form dexamfetamine (active metabolite) and l-lysine. Excretion: Via urine (96%; 42% as amfetamine-related compounds, 25% as hippuric acid, 2% as unchanged drug); faeces (0.3%). Elimination half-life: <1 hour (lisdexamfetamine); 10-13 hours (dexamfetamine).
