Evekeo is FDA-approved for treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in patients typically aged 3 years and older. It is also prescribed for narcolepsy, a sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden episodes of sleep.
As a central nervous system stimulant, Evekeo increases the activity of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, including dopamine and norepinephrine. This helps improve attention, focus, and impulse control while reducing hyperactive and impulsive behaviors associated with ADHD.
Evekeo carries a high risk of abuse and physical dependence. Common side effects may include decreased appetite, weight loss, insomnia, and increased heart rate or blood pressure. It should not be used in patients with certain cardiac conditions, hyperthyroidism, or a history of substance abuse. Close monitoring by a healthcare provider is essential during treatment.
