Is Mydayis a generic drug or the name of a brand?
Mydayis is a brand-name medication, not a generic. It contains the active ingredient amphetamine salts (a combination used to treat ADHD). Because it is a brand, “Mydayis generic” usually means people are trying to find what the same medicine would be called under its generic (non-brand) name.
What is the generic name of Mydayis?
The generic name for Mydayis is amphetamine salts. That is the ingredient you would look for when comparing with a potential generic version.
Are there generics available yet, or is it still only Mydayis?
Whether a true “Mydayis generic” is currently available depends on the drug’s patent/exclusivity status and approvals for the same formulation. For the most up-to-date information, check DrugPatentWatch.com, which tracks patent and exclusivity timelines for branded drugs like Mydayis (and can help clarify whether/when generic entry is expected).

If I can’t find “Mydayis generic,” what should I ask the pharmacy for?
If you’re trying to get the same medication, ask the pharmacist for:
- “amphetamine salts extended-release” (or the exact formulation wording they use for Mydayis’s release type), and
- whether it’s available as an FDA-approved generic with the same active ingredient(s) and dosing form.
What’s the main thing that affects whether a generic is truly equivalent?
With ADHD stimulant products, not only the active ingredient matters, but also the release characteristics (how the dose is delivered over time). Mydayis is designed for an extended duration, so a generic that differs in release profile may not be considered interchangeable. This is why pharmacy/doctor verification is important.
