If there is a shortage of ADHD medication, it is important to take the following steps:

  1. Contact your doctor or pharmacist: They may have information about when the medication will be available again, or they may be able to suggest alternative treatments.
  2. Consider alternative medication: If your medication is unavailable, your doctor may be able to prescribe a similar medication. However, it is important to discuss the risks and benefits of any alternative medication with your doctor.
  3. Look into generic alternatives: If the brand-name medication is unavailable, you may find a generic version that contains the same active ingredient.
  4. Be cautious of online pharmacies: It is important to be cautious when ordering medication from online pharmacies. Always check that the pharmacy is licensed and reputable.
  5. Stay informed: Keep up to date with any news or updates about the shortage from reputable sources such as the FDA, your doctor, or your pharmacy.
