How To Use Dextroamphetamine Sulfate (Zenzedi)

Dextroamphetamine tablets, extended-release capsules, and liquid are taken by mouth 1-3 times a day, as prescribed, with or without food. The dosing frequency of the tablets is usually taken 2-3 times a day, extended-release capsules once daily, and oral liquid twice daily. Do not cut, crush, chew, or open the extended release capsule. Use a dose measuring cup to measure liquid medicine.

Try to take the medication at around the same times every day. Take the first dose upon awakening and space out additional doses at 4-6 hour intervals. Do not take dextroamphetamine sulfate close to bedtime as it can cause sleep problems.

Read the prescription label and follow your doctor’s dosing instructions carefully. Do not change the dose or dosing frequency without your doctor’s approval. Your doctor will likely start you on a low dose of dextroamphetamine sulfate and increase the dose gradually at weekly intervals. Your provider may discontinue treatment with dextroamphetamine sulfate periodically to evaluate whether your symptoms return and whether you need to continue taking the medicine.

Missed dose: If you miss a dose of dextroamphetamine sulfate, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and take the next dose according to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose or extra medicine to make up for a missed dose.

Storage: Store dextroamphetamine sulfate at room temperature (between 15-30° C or 59-86° F) away from moisture, heat, and direct light in its original container, tightly closed. Do not store medications in the bathroom where they can be exposed to moisture and heat. Keep all medications safely out of reach of children and pets.

Unused medicine: Unused dextroamphetamine sulfate should be disposed of in a way that children, other people, and pets cannot get to them. Do not throw dextroamphetamine sulfate in the trash or flush it down the toilet. The best way to dispose of expired or unneeded dextroamphetamine sulfate is through a drug take-back program or your local waste disposal company. Learn more about proper medication disposal.
