How does once-daily Adderall XR work all day?
The Adderall XR capsule uses a unique delivery system that is designed to work effectively and safely for 12 hours. This Microtrol delivery system uses two types of beads containing the same amount of medication. The other type of bead, which has an extra layer of coating, releases the medication beginning about 4 hours later. This two-bead system can make taking ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) medication more convenient for patients. A single morning dose of Adderall XR provides effective control of ADHD symptoms throughout the day.
