Vyvanse 50mg (Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate Capsule) 50mg

Vyvanse 50mg is a central nervous system stimulant used to manage specific conditions related to attention and eating disorders.

• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Improves focus, impulse control, and executive function in adults and children 6 years and older.
• Binge Eating Disorder (BED): Reduces the frequency of binge eating episodes in adults with moderate to severe BED.
• Moderate to Severe Binge Eating Disorder: Helps decrease the number of binge-free days in adults.

• Vyvanse 50mg works as a prodrug, meaning it is inactive when ingested and is converted in the body to dextroamphetamine. This active metabolite increases the release of norepinephrine and dopamine in the central nervous system, which enhances focus, impulse control, and reduces binge eating episodes.
