Teva launches generic ADHD drug in US

Teva’s generic Adderall XR capsules are indicated for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

In August 2006, Teva’s subsidiary Barr Pharmaceuticals entered into a licensing agreement with Shire as part of a settlement of patent litigation between the parties. Under this agreement, Shire granted the company the exclusive right to sell a generic version of Adderall XR capsules for 180 days from the date of commercial launch.
