Why the Adderall Shortage Has Lasted So Long
In October 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a shortage of amphetamine mixed salts—a drug category that includes Adderall, the stimulant medication often used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Half a year may seem like ample time to get more of a medi...
