How Is INTUNIV Thought to Work?

INTUNIV is a nonstimulant and is not a controlled substance.

How soon INTUNIV will work

It may take the doctor several weeks to find the dose that's right for your child.

Can my child take "drug holidays" from ADHD treatment?

"Drug holiday" is a term some parents use when taking their child off medication during weekends, school holidays, or summer vacations.

INTUNIV should be given once daily as prescribed by the doctor. If your child is taking INTUNIV, it's important to continue your child's ADHD treatment every day as prescribed by your child's doctor. Your child should not stop taking INTUNIV or change the dose until you talk with the doctor. Talk with the doctor about what to do if your child does not take INTUNIV as prescribed.

The effectiveness of INTUNIV for longer-term use (more than 9 weeks) has not been studied.

If you would like your child to stop taking INTUNIV, talk with your child's doctor first. The dose will have to be gradually reduced, similar to the way it was gradually increased when your child first started to take it.
