Attention-Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder – Current Treatment – Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis – Pediatric Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (US)
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of most common pediatric disorders and one that can continue into adulthood. For decades, pediatric ADHD has been treated primarily with psychostimulants. Today, numerous convenient, once-daily, long-acting psychostimulants in a variety of distinct formulations are available in the United States. However, psychostimulants are classified as controlled substances in the United States, and the potential for abuse with these agents is a concern. As a result, nonstimulant therapies (e.g., atomoxetine, guanfacine ER) have become key therapeutic alternatives, despite the lingering perception of their less-robust efficacy versus that of psychostimulants. Indeed, this perception has led to the continued strong presence of psychostimulants in the treatment algorithm for pediatric ADHD.
