According to a recent Forbes article, the FDA has taken a major step toward addressing the shortage of ADHD medications by granting approval for generic versions of Vyvanse, an increasingly sought-after alternative to Adderall. Vyvanse, commonly prescribed for ADHD and binge eating disorder, is used by over one million Americans. Previously manufactured exclusively by Takeda Pharmaceuticals, Vyvanse has generated substantial revenue, becoming Takeda's third-largest drug, with annual sales exceeding $2.5 billion.
