WARNING: ABUSE AND DEPENDENCE
CNS stimulants, including MYDAYIS, other amphetamine-containing products, and methylphenidate, have a high potential for abuse and dependence. Assess the risk of abuse prior to prescribing and monitor for signs of abuse and dependence while on therapy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1, 9.3), and Drug Abuse and Dependence (9.2, 9.3)].
1. Indications and Usage for Mydayis ER Capsules
MYDAYIS is indicated for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in patients 13 years and older [see Clinical Studies (14)].
2. Mydayis ER Capsules Dosage and Administration
2.1 Important Information Prior to Initiating Treatment
Prior to initiating treatment with MYDAYIS, assess for the presence of cardiac disease (e.g., a careful history, family history of sudden death or ventricular arrhythmia, and physical exam) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].
Assess the risk of abuse, prior to prescribing and monitor for signs of abuse and dependence while on therapy. Maintain careful prescription records, educate patients about abuse, monitor for signs of abuse and overdose, and periodically re-evaluate the need for MYDAYIS use [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1), Drug Abuse and Dependence (9)].
2.2 General Instructions for Use
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)].
Pharmacological treatment of ADHD may be needed for an extended period. Periodically re-evaluate the long-term use of MYDAYIS and adjust dosage as needed.
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.
2.5 Dosage Modifications due to Drug Interactions
Agents that alter gastrointestinal and urinary pH can impact urinary excretion and alter blood levels of amphetamine. Acidifying agents (e.g., ascorbic acid) decrease blood levels, while alkalinizing agents (e.g., sodium bicarbonate) increase blood levels. Adjust MYDAYIS dosage accordingly [see Drug Interactions (7.1)].
2.6 Dosage in Patients with Renal Impairment
In adult patients with severe renal impairment (GFR between 15 to < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2), the recommended starting dose of MYDAYIS is 12.5 mg daily with a maximum recommended dose of 25 mg daily. MYDAYIS is not recommended for use in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD < 15 ml/min/1.73 m2). In pediatric patients (13 to 17 years) with severe renal impairment, the maximum dose is 12.5 mg, if tolerated [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
2.7 Switching from other Amphetamine Products
For patients switching from another medication or any other amphetamine products, discontinue that treatment, and titrate with MYDAYIS using the titration schedule [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].
Do not substitute for other amphetamine products on a milligram-per-milligram basis because of different amphetamine base compositions and differing pharmacokinetic profiles [see Warnings and Precautions (5.9), Description (11), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
3. Dosage Forms and Strengths
- Extended-release capsules 12.5 mg: green body/green cap (imprinted with SHIRE 465 and 12.5 mg)
- Extended-release capsules 25 mg: ivory body/green cap (imprinted with SHIRE 465 and 25 mg)
- Extended-release capsules 37.5 mg: ivory body/light caramel cap (imprinted with SHIRE 465 and 37.5 mg)
- Extended-release capsules 50 mg: ivory body/purple cap (imprinted with SHIRE 465 and 50 mg)
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)].
5. Warnings and Precautions
5.1 Potential for Abuse and Dependence
CNS stimulants, including MYDAYIS, other amphetamine-containing products, and methylphenidate, have a high potential for abuse and dependence. Assess the risk of abuse prior to prescribing, and monitor for signs of abuse and dependence while on therapy [see Boxed Warning, Drug Abuse and Dependence (9.2, 9.3)].
5.2 Serious Cardiovascular Reactions
Sudden death, stroke and myocardial infarction have been reported in adults with CNS stimulant treatment at recommended doses. Sudden death has been reported in pediatric patients with structural cardiac abnormalities and other serious heart problems while taking CNS stimulants at recommended doses for ADHD. Avoid use in patients with known structural cardiac abnormalities, cardiomyopathy, serious heart arrhythmia, coronary artery disease, and other serious heart problems. Further evaluate patients who develop exertional chest pain, unexplained syncope, or arrhythmias during MYDAYIS treatment.
5.3 Blood Pressure and Heart Rate Increases
CNS stimulants cause an increase in blood pressure (mean increase about 2-4 mm Hg) and heart rate (mean increase about 3-6 bpm). Monitor all patients for potential tachycardia and hypertension [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
5.5 Long-Term Suppression of Growth
CNS stimulants have been associated with weight loss and slowing of growth rate in pediatric patients. Closely monitor growth (weight and height) in pediatric patients treated with CNS stimulants, including MYDAYIS. In a 4-week, placebo-controlled trial of MYDAYIS in patients ages 6 to 17 years old with ADHD, there was a decrease in weight in the MYDAYIS groups compared to weight gain in the placebo group [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
Patients who are not growing or gaining weight as expected may need to have their treatment interrupted. MYDAYIS is not approved for use in pediatric patients 12 years and younger [Use in Specific Populations (8.4)].
5.6 Peripheral Vasculopathy, including Raynaud's Phenomenon
Stimulants, including MYDAYIS, used to treat ADHD are associated with peripheral vasculopathy, including Raynaud's phenomenon. Signs and symptoms are usually intermittent and mild; however, very rare sequelae include digital ulceration and/or soft tissue breakdown. Effects of peripheral vasculopathy, including Raynaud's phenomenon, were observed in post-marketing reports at different times and at therapeutic doses in all age groups throughout the course of treatment. Signs and symptoms generally improve after reduction in dose or discontinuation of drug. Careful observation for digital changes is necessary during treatment with ADHD stimulants. Further clinical evaluation (e.g., rheumatology referral) may be appropriate for certain patients.
5.7 Seizures
MYDAYIS may lower the convulsive threshold in patients with prior history of seizure, in patients with prior EEG abnormalities in the absence of seizures, and in patients without a history of seizures and no prior EEG evidence of seizures. In the presence of seizures, MYDAYIS should be discontinued.
5.8 Serotonin Syndrome
Serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening reaction, may occur when amphetamines are used in combination with other drugs that affect the serotonergic neurotransmitter systems such as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), triptans, tricyclic antidepressants, fentanyl, lithium, tramadol, tryptophan, buspirone, and St. John's Wort [see Drug Interactions (7.1)]. The co-administration with cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) inhibitors may also increase the risk with increased exposure to MYDAYIS. In these situations, consider an alternative non-serotonergic drug or an alternative drug that does not inhibit CYP2D6 [see Drug Interactions (7.1)].
Serotonin syndrome symptoms may include mental status changes (e.g., agitation, hallucinations, delirium, and coma), autonomic instability (e.g., tachycardia, labile blood pressure, dizziness, diaphoresis, flushing, hyperthermia), neuromuscular symptoms (e.g., tremor, rigidity, myoclonus, hyperreflexia, incoordination), seizures, and/or gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., nausea, vomiting, diarrhea).
Concomitant use of MYDAYIS with MAOI drugs is contraindicated [see Contraindications (4)].
Discontinue treatment with MYDAYIS and any concomitant serotonergic agents immediately if the above symptoms occur, and initiate supportive symptomatic treatment. If concomitant use of MYDAYIS with other serotonergic drugs or CYP2D6 inhibitors is clinically warranted, initiate MYDAYIS with lower doses, monitor patients for the emergence of serotonin syndrome during drug initiation or titration, and inform patients of the increased risk for serotonin syndrome.
5.9 Potential for Overdose Due to Medication Errors
Medication errors, including substitution and dispensing errors, between MYDAYIS and other amphetamine products could occur, leading to possible overdosage. 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 [see Dosage and Administration (2.7) and Overdosage (10)].
6. Adverse Reactions/Side Effects
The following adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling:
- Drug Dependence [see Boxed Warning, Warnings and Precautions (5.1), and 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) and Drug Interactions (7.1)]
- Serious Cardiovascular Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]
- Blood Pressure and Heart Rate Increases [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]
- Psychiatric Adverse Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]
- Long-Term Suppression of Growth [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)]
6.1 Clinical Trial 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, 4th or 5th 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)].
6.2 Adverse Reactions Associated with the Use of Amphetamines
The following adverse reactions have been associated with the use of amphetamines. The following adverse reactions have been identified during post approval use of amphetamines. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
Cardiovascular: Dyspnea, sudden death. There have been isolated reports of cardiomyopathy associated with chronic amphetamine use.
Central Nervous System: Psychotic episodes at recommended doses, overstimulation, restlessness, euphoria, dyskinesia, dysphoria, headache, tics, fatigue, aggression, anger, logorrhea, dermatillomania, and paresthesia (including formication).
Eye Disorders: Mydriasis.
Gastrointestinal: Unpleasant taste, constipation, intestinal ischemia.
Allergic: Urticaria, rash, hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema and anaphylaxis. Serious skin rashes, including Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis have been reported.
Endocrine: Impotence, changes in libido, frequent or prolonged erections.
Skin: Alopecia.
Vascular Disorders: Raynaud's phenomenon.
Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders: Rhabdomyolysis.
7. Drug Interactions
7.1 Drugs Having Clinically Important Interactions with Amphetamines
MAO Inhibitors (MAOI) | |
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)]. |
Examples | selegiline, isocarboxazid, phenelzine, tranylcypromine |
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]. |
Examples | Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRI), triptans, tricyclic antidepressants, fentanyl, lithium, tramadol, tryptophan, buspirone, St. John's Wort |
Alkalinizing Agents | |
Clinical Impact | May increase exposure to amphetamine and exacerbate the action of amphetamine. |
Intervention | Caution should be taken when co-administering MYDAYIS and gastrointestinal and urinary alkalinizing agents. |
Examples | Gastrointestinal alkalinizing agents (e.g., sodium bicarbonate; proton pump inhibitors [e.g. omeprazole]) Urinary alkalinizing agents (e.g. acetazolamide, some thiazides) |
Acidifying Agents | |
Clinical Impact | Lower blood levels and efficacy of amphetamines. |
Intervention | Increase dose of MYDAYIS based on clinical response. |
Examples | Gastrointestinal acidifying agents (e.g., guanethidine, reserpine, glutamic acid HCl, ascorbic acid) Urinary acidifying agents (e.g., ammonium chloride, sodium acid phosphate, methenamine salts) |
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. |
Examples | desipramine, protriptyline |
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. |
Examples | paroxetine and fluoxetine (also serotonergic drugs), quinidine, ritonavir. |
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. |
Examples | omeprazole, esomeprazole, pantoprazole, cimetidine |
8. Use In Specific Populations
8.4 Pediatric Use
Safety and effectiveness of MYDAYIS in pediatric patients with ADHD ages 13 to 17 years have been established in two placebo-controlled clinical studies [see Adverse Reactions (6.1), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3), Clinical Studies (14)].
Safety and effectiveness of MYDAYIS have not been established in pediatric patients ages 12 years and younger.
MYDAYIS has been studied for the treatment of ADHD in pediatric patients 6 to 12 years in two placebo controlled safety and efficacy trials. In the first trial, pediatric patients 6 to 12 years experienced higher rates of adverse reactions in some cases compared to patients 13 years and older, including higher rates of insomnia (30% versus 8%) and appetite decreased (43% versus 22%). In addition, amphetamine systemic exposures (both d- and l-) in pediatric patients 6 to 12 years following a single dose were higher than those observed in adults at the same dose (72-79% higher Cmax and approximately 83% higher AUC). A second trial evaluated a lower dose than those approved for pediatric patients 13 to 17 years; efficacy was not demonstrated for the lower dose. Therefore, a safe and effective dose cannot be established in pediatric patients 12 years and younger.
8.5 Geriatric Use
Clinical studies of MYDAYIS did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should start at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.
8.6 Renal Impairment
Due to reduced clearance of amphetamine in patients with severe renal insufficiency (GFR 15 to < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2), the maximum dose in adults should be reduced. Pediatric patients ages 13 to 17 years with severe renal insufficiency can be given the recommended starting dose if tolerated, but the dose should not be escalated. MYDAYIS is not recommended in patients with ESRD (GFR < 15 mL/min/1.73 m2) [see Dosage and Administration (2.6), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
D-amphetamine is not dialyzable.
9. Drug Abuse and Dependence
9.2 Abuse
MYDAYIS is a CNS stimulant that contains mixed amphetamine salts which have a high potential for abuse. Abuse is characterized by impaired control over drug use, compulsive use, continued use despite harm, and craving.
Signs and symptoms of amphetamine abuse may include increased heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and/or sweating, dilated pupils, hyperactivity, restlessness, insomnia, decreased appetite, loss of coordination, tremors, flushed skin, vomiting, and/or abdominal pain. Anxiety, psychosis, hostility, aggression, suicidal or homicidal ideation have also been seen. Abusers of amphetamine may use unapproved routes of administration which can result in overdose and death [see Overdosage (10)].
To reduce the abuse of CNS stimulants, including MYDAYIS, assess the risk of abuse prior to prescribing. After prescribing, keep careful prescription records, educate patients and their families about abuse and on proper storage and disposal of CNS stimulants. Monitor for signs of abuse while on therapy, and re-evaluate the need for MYDAYIS use.
10. Overdosage
Consult with a Certified Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) for up-to-date guidance and advice for treatment of overdosage. Individual patient response to amphetamines varies widely. Toxic symptoms may occur idiosyncratically at low doses.
Manifestations of amphetamine overdose include restlessness, tremor, hyperreflexia, rapid respiration, confusion, assaultiveness, hallucinations, panic states, hyperpyrexia, and rhabdomyolysis. Fatigue and depression usually follow the central nervous system stimulation. Other reactions include arrhythmias, hypertension or hypotension, circulatory collapse, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. Fatal poisoning is usually preceded by convulsions and coma.
The prolonged release of mixed amphetamine salts from MYDAYIS should be considered when treating patients with overdose.
D-amphetamine is not dialyzable.
11. Mydayis ER Capsules Description
MYDAYIS extended-release capsules contain mixed salts of a single-entity amphetamine, a CNS stimulant. MYDAYIS contains equal amounts (by weight) of four salts: dextroamphetamine sulfate and amphetamine sulfate, dextroamphetamine saccharate and amphetamine aspartate monohydrate. This results in a 3:1 mixture of dextro- to levo- amphetamine base equivalent.
The 12.5 mg, 25 mg, 37.5 mg and 50 mg strength capsules are for oral administration. They contain three types of drug-releasing beads, an immediate release and two different types of delayed release (DR) beads. The first DR bead releases amphetamine at pH 5.5 and the other DR bead releases amphetamine at pH 7.0.

12. Mydayis ER Capsules - Clinical Pharmacology
12.1 Mechanism of Action
Amphetamines are non-catecholamine sympathomimetic amines with CNS stimulant activity. The exact mode of therapeutic action in ADHD is not known.
12.2 Pharmacodynamics
Amphetamines block the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine into the presynaptic neuron and increase the release of these monoamines into the extraneuronal space.
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
MYDAYIS contains d-amphetamine and l-amphetamine salts in the ratio of 3:1. Pharmacokinetic studies of d- and l-amphetamine after oral administration of MYDAYIS have been conducted in healthy adults (19 to 52 years) and pediatric patients (6 to 17 years) with ADHD. Following administration of MYDAYIS, the peak plasma concentrations occurred in about 7 – 10 hours in pediatric patients and about 8 hours in adults for both d-amphetamine and l-amphetamine. The mean plasma elimination half-life for d- amphetamine ranges from about 10 – 11 hours and l-amphetamine from 10 – 13 hours in both pediatric and adult patients.
14. Clinical Studies
Efficacy of MYDAYIS in the treatment of ADHD was established in the following trials:
- Three short-term trials in adults (18 to 55 years, Studies 1, 2, and 3)
- Two short-term trials in pediatric patients (13 to 17 years, Studies 4 and 5)
