Explain the current approach to the management of a patient with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
Discuss the drugs available for treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and compare them based on their efficacy, dosage and administration, and potential adverse effects.
Review the efficacy and safety of viloxazine extended-release capsules (Qelbree), serdexmethylphenidate/dexmethylphenidate (Azstarys), amphetamine (Adzenys ER – Neos), and methylphenidate (Cotempla XR-ODT – Neos Therapeutics) for treatment of ADHD.

Course description
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a chronic neurodevelopmental disorder that has been diagnosed in up to 10% of school-age children in the US and frequently persists into adulthood. A study in a large Danish cohort found that ADHD was associated with higher mortality rates in children, adolescents, and adults, mainly due to accidents. Pharmacologic treatment of ADHD in children has been reported to decrease the risk of substance abuse in adolescents, and use of ADHD medications in adults has been associated with a reduced risk of serious traffic accidents and criminal behavior. This activity discusses how to reduce the risk of ADHD with PTBM and drugs approved by the FDA for treatment of ADHD.

Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
