How does Azstarys work?
Azstarys is a stimulant medication used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in people aged 6 and older. It contains two active ingredients: serdexmethylphenidate and dexmethylphenidate [1]. Serdexmethylphenidate is a prodrug that is converted to dexmethylphenidate in the body, while dexmethylphenidate is released immediately. This dual-release mechanism helps to provide symptom control throughout the day.
What is the difference between Azstarys and other ADHD medications?
Azstarys is a combination of a prodrug and an immediate-release stimulant [1]. Prodrugs are inactive until they are metabolized by the body, which can lead to a more sustained release of the active medication. Other ADHD medications may use different formulations or combinations of stimulants and non-stimulants.
How long does Azstarys stay in your system?
The duration Azstarys stays in your system can depend on factors like dosage and individual metabolism. However, the dual-release mechanism is designed to provide symptom control for up to 13 hours [1].
