4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Dexamfetamine is indicated as part of a comprehensive treatment
programme for
attention-aeficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and
adolescents aged 6 to
17 years when response to previous methylphenidate treatment is
considered
clinically inadequate. A comprehensive treatment programme typically
includes
psychological, educational and social measures.
Diagnosis should be made according to DSM-5 criteria or the guidelines
in ICD-10
and should be based on a comprehensive multidisciplinary evaluation of
the patient.
Dexamfetamine is not indicated in all children with ADHD and the
decision to use
dexamfetamine must be based on a very thorough assessment of the
severity and
chronicity of the child’s symptoms in relation to the child’s age
and potential for
abuse, misuse or diversion.
