Adderall shortage

Submitted by hannahpitt on Thu, 01/05/2012 - 4:02am.

Hospitals and patients are suffering countrywide from a crippling short supply of numerous medications. The narcotics in critically short supply consist of Adderall, a very popular medication for treating Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. Adderall among prescription drug shortages is having trouble right now. I hope FDA will have a sudden action for this kind of prescription crisis.
