ADHD is among the most common childhood psychiatric conditions with an estimated prevalence range of 5.9% to 7.1% in children and adolescents
In the U.S., the world’s largest ADHD market, prescription volume is split approximately equally among adults and children/adolescent patients.
Stimulant medications used at appropriate dosing levels appear more robust compared to non-stimulant treatment options.
In 2014, 57.6 million stimulant medication prescriptions were written based on primary diagnosis codes of ADHD, approx. 91.5% of ADHD market volume in the U.S.
Current oral treatment options are dosed in the early morning, leaving the patient essentially unmedicated until drug plasma concentrations reach therapeutic levels.
To address this issue, some parents wake their children up before their normal awakening time to administer their child’s medication and then let them go back to sleep.
