The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is warning those who take medication for ADHD, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, could face a disruption in accessing care after two executives were arrested for a $100 million fraud scheme.
The CDC issued a health advisory to inform public health officials, clinicians and patients about the potential for medication distribution to be affected.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) released information Thursday on the arrests of a California-based digital health company’s CEO and clinical president.
The duo was arrested for their alleged participation in attempting to distribute Adderall over the internet, commit health care fraud by submitting false claims for reimbursement for the drug, and obstructing justice, the DOJ’s release said.
I mean… it doesn’t need time to build in your system. ADHD meds work from after you take them until they wear off (the extended release is about 7 and a half hours for me) so even if you can only get them sporadically, some help is better than none.
Yeah, but most people would like to consistently be a functioning adult, not “when they can be on their meds”.
Still, I should. I’ve got a long list of things to talk to a doctor about (when I get to it. Eventually.)
