The warning on Glaxo's Dexedrine and Shire's Adderall XR now alert doctors and patients that the drugs may cause serious side effects and that misuse of the drugs could result in sudden death from heart attack or stroke, Bloomberg news reported. Psychosis, bipolar illness, aggression, growth suppression, and "serious" cardiovascular risks are among the side effects included in the warning. In May, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration asked makers of similar central nervous system stimulants to add the warning, which follows recommendations made by two FDA advisory committees. "It's a very strong warning. It's appropriately worded," Dr. Nissen, president of the American College! of Cardiology and chairman of cardiology at the Cleveland Clinic, told Bloomberg news. Nissen served one of the FDA advisory committees that recommended the stronger warning.
