What is Evekeo ODT?
Evekeo ODT is the orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) form of amphetamine sulfate. ODT tablets dissolve on the tongue, so they do not require swallowing a whole tablet as with standard pills.
What is it used to treat?
Evekeo ODT is prescribed as a stimulant medication for conditions including ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder). It is also used in certain cases where amphetamine sulfate is indicated, depending on the prescriber and patient factors.
How does Evekeo ODT work?
As an amphetamine-based stimulant, Evekeo ODT works by affecting brain chemicals involved in attention and behavior, helping improve focus and reduce hyperactivity/impulsivity in patients with ADHD.
How do you take an ODT (orally disintegrating tablet)?
ODT tablets are designed to dissolve in the mouth. Typical use is to place the tablet on the tongue and let it dissolve, then take it as directed by the prescriber. You should avoid taking it with a way that bypasses the intended dissolving method unless your clinician or the label instructs otherwise.
What side effects are common with Evekeo ODT?
Common stimulant-type side effects can include:
- Reduced appetite
- Insomnia or trouble sleeping
- Dry mouth
- Nausea or stomach discomfort
- Headache
- Increased heart rate or blood pressure
Serious side effects (prompt medical attention) can include chest pain, fainting, severe agitation, or signs of an allergic reaction.
Is Evekeo ODT the same as other Evekeo forms?
Evekeo ODT is the ODT formulation of amphetamine sulfate. There are also other Evekeo formulations that differ mainly by how the dose is released or how the tablet is taken, which can affect how quickly the medicine works and how long it lasts.
What about dosing and timing?
Dosing depends on age, the specific formulation, and the condition being treated. Stimulants are commonly taken earlier in the day to reduce insomnia risk, but you should follow your prescription instructions exactly.
