Life with ADHD
can be
affected by
uncontrolled
daily
symptoms

Every child is unique. Every day is different too. With
ADHD, there is one thing that unites us—the desire to
take control of symptoms. It is an important part of
creating a consistent routine. At times, it can be a
challenge. In fact, your day may not be routine at all.

Uncontrolled ADHD symptoms can result
in a day with challenges

Morning

He is distracted
and disorganized
without ADHD
symptom control.

He misses the
bus, and it is
not a good start
to the day

Midday

She is waiting for
the medication
to start working.

She struggles
to focus
on her
math test

Afternoon

His symptoms return
and get
progressively
more difficult to
manage throughout
the school day.

His teachers
remind him to
stay seated
and on task

After school

She struggles to
focus with
after-
school activities.

Her coach is
frustrated
and
she did not finish
her homework

End of day

He is restless and
his parents are upset
about his behavior
during family time.

A lack of symptom
control has caused
frustration and
challenges
throughout his day

Does your child experience
similar challenges?

ADHD symptoms can occur at different times of the day,
whether or not your child is on treatment

If you notice these behaviors in your child, talk with their healthcare provider.

Important Safety Information

AZSTARYS is a federally controlled substance (CII) because it can be abused or lead to dependence. Keep AZSTARYS in a safe
place to prevent misuse and abuse. Selling or giving away AZSTARYS may harm others and is against the law.

Tell your healthcare provider if you or your child have ever abused or been dependent on alcohol, prescription medicines, or
street drugs.

Who should not take AZSTARYS?

Do not take AZSTARYS if you or your child are:

  • allergic to serdexmethylphenidate, methylphenidate, or any of the ingredients in AZSTARYS.
  • taking or have stopped taking within the past 14 days a medicine used to treat depression called a monoamine oxidase
    inhibitor (MAOI).

Serious problems can occur while taking AZSTARYS. Tell your healthcare provider:

  • if you or your child have heart problems, heart defects, high blood pressure, or a family history of these problems. Sudden death has
    occurred in people with heart problems or defects taking stimulant medicines. Sudden death, stroke and heart attack have happened
    in adults taking stimulant medicines. Your doctor should check you or your child carefully for heart problems before starting
    AZSTARYS. Since increases in blood pressure and heart rate may occur, the doctor should regularly check these during treatment.
    Call your healthcare provider right away or go to the nearest hospital emergency room if you or your child have any signs of
    heart problems such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or fainting while taking AZSTARYS.
  • if you or your child have mental (psychiatric) problems, or a family history of suicide, bipolar illness, or depression. New or worse
    behavior and thought problems or new or worse bipolar illness may occur. New psychotic symptoms (such as seeing or hearing
    things that are not real, believing things that are not true, being suspicious) or new manic symptoms may occur. Call your
    healthcare provider right away if there are any new or worsening mental symptoms or problems during treatment.
  • if you or your child develop painful and prolonged erections (priapism), seek medical help right away. Priapism has occurred with
    methylphenidate (AZSTARYS). Because priapism can cause long-lasting damage, it should be checked by a healthcare professional
    right away.
  • if you or your child have circulation problems in fingers and toes (called peripheral vasculopathy, including Raynaud’s phenomenon).
    Fingers or toes may feel numb, cool, painful, sensitive to temperature, and/or change color from pale, to blue, to red. Call your
    healthcare provider right away if any signs of unexplained wounds appear on fingers or toes while taking AZSTARYS.
  • if your child is having slowing of growth (height and weight). Your child should have his or her height and weight checked often
    while taking AZSTARYS.
  • if you or your child are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if AZSTARYS may harm your unborn baby.
  • if you or your child are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. AZSTARYS passes into breast milk. Talk to your healthcare provider about
    the best way to feed your baby if you take AZSTARYS.
