Objectifying the Day-time Response Variation of (Lis)Dexamphetamine in Adults With ADHD

Name
NL77195.018.21
Description
In the Netherlands, two forms of amphetamines are available for the treatment of ADHD in adults; dexamfetamine (Tentin) and lisdexamfetamine (Elvanse) and both belong to regular and primary care pharmacotherapy. Both drugs contain exactly the same substance dexamfetamine and it would be expected that the effects on the symptoms of ADHD and the duration of action should be comparable. Previous studies and daily practice have reported different effects and duration of action of both, however. In this study the investigators want to investigate this difference by giving both drugs to the same patient, objectify the blood concentrations, objective and subjective effects and hope to be able to further optimize the treatment for ADHD with amphetamines.
