•

Moderate to severe binge eating disorder (BED) in adults

Limitations of Use:

•

The use of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate capsules are not recommended in pediatric patients younger than 6 years of age because they had higher plasma exposure and a higher incidence of adverse reactions (e.g., weight loss) than patients 6 years and older at the same dosage (5.5, 8.4)

Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate capsules are not indicated for weight loss. Use of other sympathomimetic drugs for weight loss has been associated with serious cardiovascular adverse events. The safety and effectiveness of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate capsules for the treatment of obesity have not been established (5.2)
