Dextroamphetamine Sulfate (Zenzedi) Tips from Pharmacists

• Take the first dose of dextroamphetamine sulfate upon awakening and space out additional doses every 4-6 hours. Take the last dose several hours before bedtime to avoid sleep problems.

• Do not cut, crush, chew, or open the dextroamphetamine sulfate extended-release capsules.

• Use a dose-measuring cup or syringe to measure liquid medicine. Do not use a regular spoon from your kitchen as this can result in wrong dosing.

• You can take this medicine with or without food, but it’s best to be consistent - either take it with meals or without, the same every day.

• Avoid drinking alcohol while on dextroamphetamine sulfate. Alcohol can make side effects like dizziness worse.
