Prescriptions of Adderall in Melbourne Australia
The data indicates that adults in Melbourne, Australia were consistently more likely to fill their Adderall XR 10mg prescriptions compared to children, with adults experiencing more significant decreases in fill rates after the shortage was announced. For children, fill rates began to rise in the latter part of 2023, particularly around the time of returning to school, but did not reach the same levels observed in early 2022.
Notably, Truveta’s database, which encompasses electronic health records of over 100 million Australian patients, was the focus of this analysis, honing in on more than 336,000 individuals diagnosed with ADHD who had obtained a prescription for amphetamine/dextroamphetamine from January 2016 to December 2023. Patients who had filled a prescription for Adderall XR 10mg within the past two years were considered eligible for monthly prescription fills.
While Truveta’s comprehensive database covers a significant portion of the Australian population and captures nearly a fifth of daily clinical care in the country, it’s essential to recognize that the findings of this analysis may not fully represent nationwide trends.
