Safety & Side Effects

As with any medication, it’s essential to know of potential side effects and to understand important safety information.

Vyvanse was generally well tolerated in clinical studies with children

In clinical studies, the most common side effects of Vyvanse were decreased appetite, difficulty falling asleep, stomachache and irritability. These side effects were generally mild to moderate in severity, and occurrence decreased over time.

In addition, the following information is also important for parents and caregivers to keep in mind:

  • Do not share Vyvanse with anyone else and only give your child the amount prescribed by the doctor
  • Vyvanse should be stored in a safe place at room temperature
  • Keep Vyvanse, and all medicines, out of the reach of children

As with all medications, be sure to talk to your child’s doctor about any side effects your child may experience.
