Recommended Starting Dose Titration Schedule Maximum Daily Dose Adults 12.5 mg 12.5 mg weekly 50 mg Pediatrics (13 to 17) 12.5 mg 12.5 mg weekly 25 mg In adult patients with severe renal impairment the maximum dose should not exceed 25 mg daily. Use in adult patients with ESRD is not recommended. ( 2.6 , 8.6 ) The maximum dose in pediatric patients with severe renal impairment is 12.5 mg daily. Use in pediatric patients with ESRD is not recommended. ( 2.6 , 8.6 ) Patients are advised to take consistently either with or without food. ( 2.2 ) Administer upon awakening because the effects may last up to 16 hours and there is the potential for insomnia. ( 2.2 ) Prior to treatment, assess for presence of cardiac disease. ( 2.1 ) To avoid substitution errors and overdosage, do not substitute for other amphetamine products on a milligram-per-milligram basis because of different amphetamine base compositions and differing pharmacokinetic profiles. ( 2.7 ) 2.1 Pretreatment Screening Prior to treating patients with MYDAYIS, assess: for the presence of cardiac disease (i.e., perform a careful history, family history of sudden death or ventricular arrhythmia, and physical exam) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] the family history and clinically evaluate patients for motor or verbal tics or Tourette’s syndrome before initiating MYDAYIS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.10) ] 2.2 General Administration Information Because the effects of MYDAYIS may last up to 16 hours and there is potential for insomnia, administer once daily in the morning upon awakening. In the event of a missed dose, do not administer later in the day. Do not administer additional medication to make up for the missed dose [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) , Clinical Studies (14) ] . 2.3 Administration Instructions Administer MYDAYIS orally with or without food. Advise patients to take MYDAYIS consistently either with food or without food [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . MYDAYIS may be administered in one of the following ways: Swallow MYDAYIS capsules whole, or Open capsule and sprinkle the entire contents over a spoonful of applesauce. The sprinkled applesauce should be consumed immediately; it should not be stored. Patients should take the sprinkled applesauce in its entirety without chewing. The dose of a single capsule should not be divided. 2.4 Recommended Dosage Adults (18 to 55 years) The recommended starting dose of MYDAYIS is 12.5 mg once daily in the morning upon awakening. Initial doses of 25 mg once daily may be considered for some patients. Dosage may be adjusted in increments of 12.5 mg no sooner than weekly, up to a maximum dose of 50 mg once daily, based on the therapeutic needs and response of the patient. Doses above 50 mg daily have shown no additional clinically meaningful benefit. Pediatric Patients (13 to 17 years) The recommended starting dose is 12.5 mg once daily in the...

Side Effects (Adverse Reactions)

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling: Abuse, Misuse, and Addiction [see Boxed Warning , Warnings and Precautions (5.1) , Drug Abuse and Dependence (9.2 , 9.3) ] Hypersensitivity to amphetamine products or other ingredients of MYDAYIS [see Contraindications (4) ] Hypertensive Crisis When Used Concomitantly with Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors [see Contraindications (4) , Drug Interactions (7.1) ] Risks to Patients with Serious Cardiac Disease [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Increased Blood Pressure and Heart Rate [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Psychiatric Adverse Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Long-Term Suppression of Growth in Pediatric Patients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Peripheral Vasculopathy, Including Raynaud's Phenomenon [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] Seizures [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ] Serotonin Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) ] Motor and Verbal Tics, and Worsening of Tourette's Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.10) ] Most common adverse reactions in patients with ADHD (incidence ≥5% and at a rate at least twice placebo) are: Pediatrics (13 years and older): insomnia, decreased appetite, decreased weight, irritability, and nausea. ( 6.1 ) Adults: insomnia, decreased appetite, decreased weight, dry mouth, increased heart rate, and anxiety. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc. at 1-877-TAKEDA-7 (1-877-825-3327) or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch . 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. MYDAYIS was studied in adults (18 to 55 years) and pediatric patients (13 to 17 years) who met Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4 th or 5 th editions (DSM-IV-TR ® or DSM-5) criteria for ADHD. The safety data for adults were pooled from three randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies in doses of 12.5 mg to 75 mg per day (1.5 times the maximum recommended dosage). Doses higher than 50 mg per day did not demonstrate additional clinical benefit and are not recommended. The safety data for pediatric patients (13 to 17 years) is from 1 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of doses of 12.5 mg to 25 mg. The total exposure in patients treated with MYDAYIS totalled 704; this included pediatric patients, 78 adolescent patients and 626 adult patients from multiple well-controlled trials. The duration of use ranged from 4 to 7 weeks [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Adverse Reactions Leading to Discontinuation of Treatment In pooled controlled trials of adult patients, 9% (54/626) of MYDAYIS-treated patients discontinued due to adverse reactions compared to 2% (7/328) of placebo-treated patients. The most frequent adverse reactions leading to discontinuation (i.e., leading to discontinuation in at least 1% of MYDAYIS-treated patients and at a rate at least twice that of placebo) were insomnia (2%, n=15), blood pressure increased (2%, n=10), decreased appetite (1%, n=5), and headache (1%, n=4). In a controlled trial including adolescent patients (13 to 17 years), 5% (4/78) of MYDAYIS-treated patients discontinued due to adverse reactions compared to 0% (0/79) of placebo-treated patients. The most frequent adverse reaction leading to discontinuation (i.e., leading to discontinuation in at least 1% of MYDAYIS-treated patients and at a rate at least twice that of placebo) were dizziness (1%, n=1), depression (1%, n=1), abdominal pain upper (1%, n=1), and viral infection (1%, n=1). Adverse Reactions Occurring at an Incidence of ≥2% and at Least Twice Placebo Among MYDAYIS-Treated Adults in Clinical Trials The most common adverse...

Drug Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Acidifying and Alkalinizing Agents: Agents that alter GI and urinary pH can alter blood levels of amphetamine. Acidifying agents (GI and urinary) decrease amphetamine blood levels, while alkalinizing agents (GI and urinary) increase amphetamine blood levels. Adjust MYDAYIS dosage accordingly. ( 2.5 , 7.1 ) 7.1 Drugs Having Clinically Important Interactions with Amphetamines Table 3: Drugs Having Clinically Important Interactions with Amphetamines Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs) Clinical Impact MAOI antidepressants slow amphetamine metabolism, increasing amphetamines effect on the release of norepinephrine and other monoamines from adrenergic nerve endings causing headaches and other signs of hypertensive crisis. Toxic neurological effects and malignant hyperpyrexia can occur, sometimes with fatal results. Intervention Do not administer MYDAYIS during or within 14 days following the administration of MAOI [see Contraindications (4) ] . Serotonergic Drugs Clinical Impact The concomitant use of amphetamines and serotonergic drugs increases the risk of serotonin syndrome. Intervention Initiate with lower doses and monitor patients for signs and symptoms of serotonin syndrome, particularly during MYDAYIS initiation or dosage increase. If serotonin syndrome occurs, discontinue MYDAYIS and concomitant serotonergic drug(s) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ] . Alkalinizing Agents Clinical Impact May increase exposure to amphetamine and exacerbate the action of amphetamine. Intervention Caution should be taken when coadministering MYDAYIS and gastrointestinal and urinary alkalinizing agents. Acidifying Agents Clinical Impact Lower blood levels and efficacy of amphetamines. Intervention Increase dose of MYDAYIS based on clinical response. Tricyclic Antidepressants Clinical Impact May enhance the activity of tricyclic or sympathomimetic agents causing sustained increases in the concentration of d-amphetamine in the brain; cardiovascular effects can be potentiated. Intervention Monitor frequently and adjust MYDAYIS dose or use alternative therapy based on clinical response. CYP2D6 Inhibitors Clinical Impact May increase the exposure of amphetamine. Intervention Start with lower doses and monitor frequently and adjust MYDAYIS dose or use alternative therapy based on clinical response. Gastric pH Modulators Clinical Impact Potential change in shape of PK profile and exposure may occur. Intervention Monitor patients for changes in clinical effect and use alternative therapy based on clinical response. 7.2 Drug/Laboratory Test Interactions Amphetamines can cause a significant elevation in plasma corticosteroid levels. This increase is greatest in the evening. Amphetamines may interfere with urinary steroid determinations.

Contraindications

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS MYDAYIS is contraindicated in patients with: Known hypersensitivity to amphetamine, or other components of MYDAYIS. Hypersensitivity reactions such as angioedema and anaphylactic reactions have been reported in patients treated with other amphetamine products [see Adverse Reactions (6.2) ] . Concomitant treatment with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), and also within 14 days following discontinuation of treatment with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, because of an increased risk of hypertensive crisis [see Drug Interactions (7.1) ] . Known hypersensitivity to amphetamine products or other ingredients in MYDAYIS. ( 4 ) Use with monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors, or within 14 days of the last MAO inhibitor dose. ( 4 , 7.1 )

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

8.1 Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to MYDAYIS during pregnancy. Healthcare providers are encouraged to register patients by calling the National Pregnancy Registry for Psychiatric Medications at 1-866-961-2388 or visiting online at https://womensmentalhealth.org/research/pregnancyregistry/ . Risk Summary The limited available data from published literature and postmarketing reports on use of amphetamine in pregnant women are not sufficient to inform a drug-associated risk for major birth defects and miscarriage. Adverse pregnancy outcomes, including premature delivery and low birth weight, have been seen in infants born to mothers dependent on amphetamines [see Clinical Considerations ] . In an embryofetal development study, amphetamine (d- to l- enantiomer ratio of 3:1, the same as in MYDAYIS) had no effects on embryofetal morphological development or survival when administered to pregnant rats and rabbits throughout the period of organogenesis up to doses 10 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 25 mg/day given to adolescents, on a mg/m 2 body surface area basis. However, in a pre- and postnatal development study, amphetamine (d- to l- ratio of 3:1) administered orally to pregnant rats during gestation and lactation caused a decrease in pup survival and a decrease in pup body weight that correlated with a delay in developmental landmarks at clinically relevant doses of amphetamine. In addition, adverse effects on reproductive performance were observed in pups whose mothers were treated with amphetamine. Long-term neurochemical and behavioral effects have also been reported in animal developmental studies using clinically relevant doses of amphetamine [see Data ] . The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss or other adverse...

Overdosage

10 OVERDOSAGE Clinical Effects of Overdose Overdose of CNS stimulants is characterized by the following sympathomimetic effects: Cardiovascular effects including tachyarrhythmias, and hypertension or hypotension. Vasospasm, myocardial infarction, or aortic dissection may precipitate sudden cardiac death. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy may develop. CNS effects including psychomotor agitation, confusion, and hallucinations. Serotonin syndrome, seizures, cerebral vascular accidents, and coma may occur. Life-threatening hyperthermia (temperatures greater than 104°F) and rhabdomyolysis may develop. Overdose Management Consider the possibility of multiple drug ingestion. The pharmacokinetic profile of MYDAYIS should be considered when treating patients with overdose. D-amphetamine is not dialyzable. Consider contacting the Poison Help line (1-800-222-1222) or a medical toxicologist for additional overdose management recommendations.
