What is Lisalgil?

Lisalgil is a medication that contains the active ingredient lisdexamfetamine, primarily used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and adults. It is a prodrug, meaning it becomes active only after being metabolized in the body, which helps to provide a smoother therapeutic effect and reduces the potential for misuse. Lisalgil is typically prescribed as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that may include behavioral therapy and educational support. As with all medications, it should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
