This indicates that using the product &#8220;may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences,&#8221; but the probability of serious harm is considered remote.<\/p>\n<p>The reason for the recall is a failure in laboratory testing. The FDA said the affected lots of medication did not dissolve as expected during tests.<\/p>\n<p>This problem could affect how well the drug works in the body, potentially resulting in patients not getting the intended dose and the full therapeutic benefit.<\/p>\n<p>Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate is a widely used drug, with data showing that over nine million prescriptions were dispensed in 2023, according to <em>Newsweek.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The recall covers 100-count bottles across a range of doses.<\/p>\n<p>The affected lot numbers and expiration dates are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>10 mg: AD42468 (exp. 2\/28\/2026), AD48705 (exp. 4\/30\/2026)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>20 mg: AD42469 (exp. 2\/28\/2026), AD48707 (exp. 4\/30\/2026)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>30 mg: AD42470 (exp. 2\/28\/2026), AD48708 (exp. 4\/30\/2026)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>40 mg: AD48709 (exp. 4\/30\/2026), AD50894 (exp. 5\/31\/2026)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>50 mg: AD48710 (exp. 4\/30\/2026), AD50895 (exp. 5\/31\/2026)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>60 mg: AD48711 (exp. 4\/30\/2026), AD50896 (exp. 5\/31\/2026)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>70 mg: AD48712 (exp. 4\/30\/2026), AD50898 (exp. 5\/31\/2026)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/consumers\/womens-health\/use-medicines-wisely\">FDA r<\/a>ecommends patients contact their health care provider before stopping any medication abruptly and seek additional guidance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More information<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accessdata.fda.gov\/scripts\/ires\/index.cfm\">full list of recalled products and additional details<\/a>, visit the U.S. Food and Drug Administration\u2019s enforcement reports page.<\/p>\n<p>SOURCES: <em>Newsweek<\/em>, Nov. 6, 2025; U.S. Food and Drug Administration, enforcement report, Oct. 28, 2025<\/p>\n<p><i><\/i><br \/>\n<i>Copyright &#169; 2025 <a href=\"https:\/\/consumer.healthday.com\/\" target=\"_new\">HealthDay<\/a>.
