            Warnings

            Black Box Warnings

            Amphetamines have a high potential for abuse and dependence

            Administration for prolonged periods may lead to dependence and must be avoided

            Assess the possibility of persons obtaining amphetamines for nontherapeutic use or distribution to others

            Prescribed or dispensed sparingly

            Misuse of amphetamines may cause sudden death and serious cardiovascular adverse events

            Contraindications

            Hypersensitivity

            Hyperthryroidism

            Glaucoma

            Hypertension, advanced arteriosclerosis, symptomatic CVD

            Symptomatic cardiovascular disease

            Moderate-to-severe hypertension

            Agitated states, history of drug abuse

            MAO inhibitors given within 14 days (risk of severe hypertensive reaction)

            Cautions

            Preexisting cardiac structural abnormalities associated with risk of sudden death (if abused)

            Time to maximum concentration decreased when coadministered with acid-suppressing drugs (eg, proton pump inhibitors)

            Associated with peripheral vasculopathy, including Raynaud phenomenon

            Difficulties with accommodation and blurring of vision have been reported with stimulant treatment

            May impair ability to engage in potentially hazardouse activities due to CNS effects

            Potential exists for drug dependency

            Use caution in hypertension, history of psychosis, seizure disorders, elderly, or Tourette's syndrome (may unmask tics)

            Abrupt discontinuation may result in symptoms for withdrawal

            Sudden deaths, stroke, and myocardial infarction reported in adults taking psychiatrics#stimulants at usual doses

            Patients who develop symptoms such as exertional chest pain, unexplained syncope, or other symptoms suggestive of cardiac disease during stimulant treatment should undergo a prompt cardiac evaluation

            Particular care should be taken in using psychiatrics#stimulants to treat ADHD patients with comorbid bipolar disorder because of concern for possible induction of mixed/manic episode in such patients

            Aggressive behavior or hostility is often observed in children and adolescents with ADHD; monitor for the appearance of or worsening of aggressive behavior or hostility

            Monitor growth of children ages 7 to 10 years during treatment with psychiatrics#stimulants; may need to interrupt therapy in patients not growing or gaining weight as expected

            Stimulants may lower convulsive threshold in patients with prior history of seizure, patients with prior EEG abnormalities in absence of seizures, and very rarely, patients without a history of seizures and no prior EEG evidence of seizures; discontinue therapy in the presence of seizures

            Use with caution in patients who use other sympathomimetic drugs

            Amphetamines may exacerbate motor and phonic tics and Tourette’s syndrome; perform clinical evaluation for tics and Tourette’s syndrome in children and their families prior to treating with stimulant medications

            Rare instances of prolonged and sometimes painful erections (priapism), sometimes requiring surgical intervention, reported with methylphenidate products; typically not reported during initiation, but often subsequent to an increase in dose; seek immediate medical attention for abnormally sustained or frequent and painful erections

            Drug interaction overview

            • Serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening reaction, may occur when amphetamines are used in combination with other drugs that affect the serotonergic neurotransmitter systems such as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), triptans, tricyclic antidepressants, fentanyl, lithium, tramadol, tryptophan, buspirone, and St. John’s Wort
            • Amphetamines and amphetamine derivatives are known to be metabolized, to some degree, by cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) and display minor inhibition of CYP2D6 metabolism; potential for a pharmacokinetic interaction exists with coadministration of CYP2D6 inhibitors which may increase risk with increased exposure to amphetamines and derivatives; in these situations, consider alternative non-serotonergic drug or alternative drug that does not inhibit CYP2D6
            • If concomitant use with other serotonergic drugs or CYP2D6 inhibitors is clinically warranted, initiate therapy with lower doses, monitor patients for emergence of serotonin syndrome during drug initiation or titration, and inform patients of increased risk for serotonin syndrome

            Pregnancy & Lactation

            Pregnancy

            Pregnancy exposure registry is available that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed during pregnancy; healthcare providers are encouraged to register patients by calling the National Pregnancy Registry for Psychopsychiatrics#stimulants at 1-866-961-2388 or visiting online at https://womensmentalhealth.org/clinical-and-research-programs/pregnancyregistry/othermedications/

            Available data from published epidemiologic studies and postmarketing reports on use of prescription amphetamine in pregnant women have not identified drug-associated risk of major birth defects and miscarriage; adverse pregnancy outcomes, including premature delivery and low birth weight, reported in infants born to mothers taking amphetamines during pregnancy

            Amphetamines cause vasoconstriction and thereby may decrease placental perfusion; in addition, amphetamines can stimulate uterine contractions, increasing the risk of premature delivery; infants born to mothers taking amphetamines during pregnancy have increased risk of premature delivery and low birth weight

            Monitor infants born to mothers taking amphetamines for symptoms of withdrawal such as feeding difficulties, irritability, agitation, and excessive drowsiness

            Animal data

            • No apparent effects on morphological development reported in embryo-fetal development studies, with oral administration of amphetamine to rats and rabbits during organogenesis at doses 2 and 12 times, respectively, the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 20 mg/day given to adolescents, on a mg/m² basis
            • However, in a pre- and post-natal development study, amphetamine (d-to l- ratio of 3:1) administered orally to pregnant rats during gestation and lactation caused a decrease in pup survival and a decrease in pup body weight that correlated with a delay in developmental landmarks at clinically relevant doses of amphetamine
            • Adverse effects on reproductive performance observed in pups whose mothers were treated with amphetamine; long-term neurochemical and behavioral effects reported in animal developmental studies using clinically relevant doses of amphetamine

            Lactation

            Based on limited case reports in published literature, amphetamine is present in human milk; there are no reports of adverse effects on breastfed infant

            Long-term neurodevelopmental effects on infants from amphetamine exposure are unknown; large dosages of amphetamine might interfere with milk production, especially in women whose lactation is not well established

            Because of potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants, advise patients that breastfeeding is not recommended during therapy

            Pregnancy Categories

            A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

            B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk.

            C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done.

            D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

            X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.

            NA: Information not available.
