ADZENYS XR-ODT vs DYANAVEL XR 15
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Adzenys XR-ODT contains amphetamine, a central nervous system stimulant that increases extracellular levels of dopamine and norepinephrine by inhibiting their reuptake and promoting their release from presynaptic terminals.
Dyanavel XR contains amphetamine, which is a central nervous system stimulant that increases synaptic concentrations of dopamine and norepinephrine by inhibiting their reuptake and promoting their release from presynaptic terminals.
Initial: 9.4 mg orally once daily in the morning; titrate in increments of 9.4 mg per week based on tolerability and response. Maximum: 56.4 mg once daily.
1-3 capsules orally once daily in the morning. Each capsule contains 15 mg of amphetamine (equivalent to 15 mg dextroamphetamine/amphetamine).

Approximately 9-14 hours in adults, 8-11 hours in children (6-12 years). Extended-release pharmacokinetics produce a longer clinical duration compared to immediate-release formulations.
Terminal elimination half-life: amphetamine (d-isomer) 9-11 hours, l-isomer 11-14 hours; allows for once-daily dosing in extended-release formulation
Renal: approximately 90% as unchanged drug and metabolites (30%-40% as amphetamine, 40%-50% as hippuric acid and benzoic acid). Fecal: <4%. Biliary: negligible.
Renal (80-90% as unchanged drug and metabolites, primarily dehydro-amphetamine); fecal excretion minimal (<5%)
